Bible in Basic English
"Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen."
— Psalms 74:4, Bible in Basic English
“Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.”
“Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs. ”
“Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.”
“Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags.”
Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?
Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.
Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;
Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.
They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.
Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.
