King James Version
"A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees."
— Psalms 74:5, King James Version
“They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees. ”
“They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.”
“They invade like lumberjacks swinging their axes in a thick forest.”
“I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.”
“They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.”
“A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.”
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
