38 And they saw the sanctuary deserted, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned, and weeds growing up in the courts, as in a forest or as on the mountains, and the adjoining chambers demolished.

42 And he chose priests without blemish, whose will held to the law of God.
43 And they cleansed the holy places, and they took away the stones of defilement to an unclean place.
