4 Your enemies roared like lionsin your holy temple,and they have placedtheir banners there.
5 It looks like a forestchopped to pieces.
6 They used axes and hatchetsto smash the carvings.
7 They burned down your templeand badly disgraced it.
8 They said to themselves,“We'll crush them!”Then they burned every oneof your meeting placesall over the country.
9 There are no more miraclesand no more prophets.Who knows how longit will be like this?
10 Our God, how much longerwill our enemies sneer?Won't they ever stopinsulting you?
