to cut through a thicket of trees.(D)

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.

and as loot to the wicked of the earth,

They will enter it
and will defile it.(G)
