6 Now all its carved work They break down with hatchet and hammers.
7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling-place of your Name.
8 They said in their heart, "We will crush them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshipped.
9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, Neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them!
12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
