Lamentations 2:7
New Living Translation
7 The Lord has rejected his own altar;
he despises his own sanctuary.
He has given Jerusalem’s palaces
to her enemies.
They shout in the Lord’s Temple
as though it were a day of celebration.

Psalm 74:3-8
New Living Translation
3 Walk through the awful ruins of the city;
see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.
4 There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries;
there they set up their battle standards.
5 They swung their axes
like woodcutters in a forest.
6 With axes and picks,
they smashed the carved paneling.
7 They burned your sanctuary to the ground.
They defiled the place that bears your name.
8 Then they thought, “Let’s destroy everything!”
So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.
Psalm 74:3-8
New International Version
3 Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins,(A)
all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
4 Your foes roared(B) in the place where you met with us;
they set up their standards(C) as signs.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes
to cut through a thicket of trees.(D)
6 They smashed all the carved(E) paneling
with their axes and hatchets.
7 They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defiled(F) the dwelling place(G) of your Name.(H)
8 They said in their hearts, “We will crush(I) them completely!”
They burned(J) every place where God was worshiped in the land.
Psalm 74:3-8
King James Version
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
