^{6 Ref} And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,

^{7 Ref} They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,

^{8 Ref} They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.

^{6 Ref} And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.

^{7 Ref} They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name `by casting it' to the ground.

^{8 Ref} They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
