They have set fire to Your sanctuary; they have defiled to the ground the dwelling place of Your name.

i1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

Your holy cities are a wilderness; Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem is a desolation.

Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised You, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

therefore I will do to this house, which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

Why have you prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be wasted, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.

The enemy has spread out his hand upon all her desirable things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, whom You commanded that they should not enter into Your assembly.

The Lord has cast off His altar; He has abhorred His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a sound in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of the appointed meetings.

Therefore, on account of you, Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the forest.

Behold, I will command, says Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city. And they shall fight against it and capture it, and burn it with fire. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.

And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire.

For though you had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would rise up, each man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

And he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house. And he burned with fire all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great ones.

And I will send a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
