“Strike the tops of the Temple columns,
    so that the foundation will shake.
Bring down the roof
    on the heads of the people below.
I will kill with the sword those who survive.
    No one will escape!

²¹ But God will smash the heads of his enemies,
    crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways.

¹³ You went out to rescue your chosen people,
    to save your anointed ones.
You crushed the heads of the wicked
    and stripped their bones from head to toe.

¹⁴ “On the very day I punish Israel for its sins,
    I will destroy the pagan altars at Bethel.
The horns of the altar will be cut off
    and fall to the ground.

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!
    The whole earth is filled with his glory!”

11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
    so that fire may devour your cedar forests.
² Weep, you cypress trees, for all the ruined cedars;
    the most majestic ones have fallen.
Weep, you oaks of Bashan,
    for the thick forests have been cut down.
