6And then all its carved wood

they broke down with hatchets and hammers.

7They set thy sanctuary on fire;

to the ground they desecrated the dwelling place of thy name.

8They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;

they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

And all its carved wood

they broke down with hatchets and hammers.

bringing it down to the ground.

they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

with hatchets and picks.

the dwelling place of your name.

“Let’s oppress them relentlessly.”

They burned every place throughout the land

where God met with us.

So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.

they have smashed with axe and hammer.

They have set fire to your sanctuary.

They have defiled to the ground,

the dwelling place for your name.

They have said in their heart,

“We will completely oppress them.”

They burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

But now they break down the carved work thereof

At once with axes and hammers.

They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,

They have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:

They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
