3 The desolations long repair, Arise, and do not [longer] tarry, All that thy wicked foes have done Within thy [chosen] sanctuary.
4 Amidst the Congregations [Cruel] foes roar outrageously; And their Ensigns they have set up As signs of [profane] Victory.
4 Amidst the Congregations [Cruel] foes roar outragiously; And their Ensigns they have set up As signs of [prophane] Victory.
5 This sacred building formerly Did [skilful] workmen famous make:
6 But now with axes and hammers The carved work they [down do] break.
