They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!” They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever. Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.

They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever. Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

Then they thought, “Let’s destroy everything!” So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.

Don’t let these wild beasts destroy your turtledoves. Don’t forget your suffering people forever. Remember your covenant promises, for the land is full of darkness and violence!

They said in their hearts, “Let’s oppress them relentlessly.” They burned every place throughout the land where God met with us. 

Do not give to beasts the life of your dove;  do not forget the lives of your poor people forever.  Consider the covenant,  for the dark places of the land are full of violence.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: Forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. Have respect unto the covenant: For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them altogether.” They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.

Oh, do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of Your poor forever. Have respect to the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.

While your people were at worship, your enemies barged in, brawling and scrawling graffiti. They set fire to the porch; axes swinging, they chopped up the woodwork, Beat down the doors with sledgehammers, then split them into kindling. They burned your holy place to the ground, violated the place of worship. They said to themselves, “We’ll wipe them all out,” and burned down all the places of worship.

Mark and remember, GOD, all the enemy taunts, each idiot desecration. Don’t throw your lambs to the wolves; after all we’ve been through, don’t forget us. Remember your promises; the city is in darkness, the countryside violent. Don’t leave the victims to rot in the street; make them a choir that sings your praises.

They said in their heart, “Let’s completely subdue them.” They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

Do not give the soul of Your turtledove to the wild animal; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever. Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the places of violence.

They said in their heart, “Let us completely subdue them.” They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

Oh, do not hand over the soul of your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever. Consider the covenant [You made with Abraham], For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

They say to themselves, “We will oppress all of them.” They burn down all the places where people worship God in the land.

Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal! Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people! Remember your covenant promises, for the dark regions of the earth are full of places where violence rules.
