⁶ He ·cut down [laid waste to; violently treated] his ·Temple [^Lbooth] like a ·garden [vineyard];
    he destroyed the meeting place.
The Lord has made ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple] forget
    the ·set feasts [or meeting place] and Sabbath days.
He has ·rejected [despised] the king and the priest
    in his great anger.

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and ·abandoned [disavowed] his ·Temple [^LHoly Place; Ezek. 9–11].
He has ·handed over to [^Ldelivered into the hand of] the enemy
    the walls of its [^Cprobably Jerusalem’s] palaces.
·Their uproar [^LThey gave forth voice] in the Lord’s ·Temple [^Lhouse]
    was like that of a feast day.

⁸ The Lord planned to destroy
    the wall around ·Jerusalem [^Lthe daughter of Zion; ^Cthe location of the Temple].
He ·measured the wall [^Lextended a measuring line; ^Cusually used in construction but here in demolition]
    and did not stop himself from ·destroying [^Lswallowing] it.
He made the walls and ·defenses [ramparts] ·sad [mourn];
    together they have ·fallen [languished].
