"as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand. As in a forest of chopped wood, "
— Psalms 73:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.”
“They are not in trouble asothermen; Neither are they plagued likeothermen. ”
“They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.”
“They are immune to the trouble common to men; they do not suffer as other men do.”
“And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,”
“They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.”
“They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.”
Be mindful of your congregation, which you have possessed from the beginning. You redeemed the scepter of your inheritance, mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
Lift up your hands against their arrogance in the end. How great the malice of the enemy has been in the sanctuary!
And those who hate you have been glorified, in the midst of your solemnity. They have set up their own signs as a proof,
as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand. As in a forest of chopped wood,
they have cut down the entrances themselves. With axe and hatchet, they have brought it down.
They have set fire to your Sanctuary. They have polluted the tabernacle of your name on earth.
They have said in their heart, the whole group of them together: “Let us cause all the feast days of God to cease from the land.
