⁹ And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;

⁵ And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.

³ Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;

⁴ Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.

⁵ They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.

⁶ Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.

⁷ They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.

¹² For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.

¹ <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> O God, the nations have come into your heritage; they have made your holy Temple unclean; they have made Jerusalem a mass of broken walls.

¹⁹ And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.

⁸ And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

¹³ And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire:

¹⁰ For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.

⁸ And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.

²² See, I will give orders, says the Lord, and make them come back to this town; and they will make war on it and take it and have it burned with fire: and I will make the towns of Judah waste and unpeopled.

¹⁰ Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.

¹¹ In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?

¹³ And they got false witnesses who said, This man is for ever saying things against this holy place and against the law:

¹⁴ For he has said in our hearing that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses.

⁵ And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

⁶ As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

⁷ The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.

¹⁰ The hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.

⁸ And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.

⁹ Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

¹⁴ For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
