Bible in Basic English
"They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth."
— Psalms 74:7, Bible in Basic English
“They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground. ”
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.
They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.
We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.
O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?
