1 Maccabees 3:45
Jerusalem was deserted like a wilderness. None of her children moved around. The sanctuary was trampled, and strangers held the elevated fortress. Gentiles lodged there. Joy was taken from Jacob. The flute and the harp were no longer heard.
Now Jerusalem was not inhabited, but was like a desert: there was none of her children that went in or out: and the sanctuary was trodden down: and the children of strangers were in the castle, there was the habitation of the Gentiles: and joy was taken away from Jacob, and the pipe and harp ceased there.
Jerusalem was as empty as a wilderness; no citizens left or entered the city. The holy Temple was profaned by foreigners, and Gentiles camped in the city's fort; so joy departed from the people of Israel, and the sound of music was heard no more.
Jerusalem was uninhabited, like a wilderness; not one of her children came in or went out. The sanctuary was trampled on, and foreigners were in the citadel; it was a habitation for Gentiles. Joy had disappeared from Jacob, and the flute and the harp were silent.
Jerusalem was uninhabited like a wilderness; not one of her children entered or came out. The sanctuary was trodden underfoot, and foreigners had captured the citadel, which had become a lodging place for the Gentiles. Joy had vanished from Jacob; the flute and the harp were silent.
Jerusalem was uninhabited like a wilderness; not one of her children went in or out. The sanctuary was trampled down, and aliens held the citadel; it was a lodging-place for the Gentiles. Joy was taken from Jacob; the flute and the harp ceased to play.
