Our holy and glorious temple, where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire, and all that we treasured lies in ruins.

Our people of long ago used to praise you in our holy and glorious temple. But now it has been burned down. Everything we treasured has been destroyed.

Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, has been burned by fire, and all our pleasant places have become ruins.

He burned down the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.

They invade like lumberjacks swinging their axes in a thick forest.And now they are tearing down all its engravings with axes and crowbars.They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground.

An enemy grabbed all her valuables. Indeed she watched in horror as Gentiles invaded her holy temple– those whom you had commanded:“ They must not enter your assembly place.”כ( Kaf)All her people groaned as they searched for a morsel of bread. They exchanged their valuables for just enough food to stay alive.“ Look, O Lord! Consider that I have become worthless!”ל( Lamed)

They burned down the LORD’s temple and tore down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned all its fortified buildings and destroyed all its valuable items.

Jerusalem remembers, when she became a poor homeless person, all her treasures that she owned in days of old. When her people fell into an enemy’s grip, none of her allies came to her rescue. Her enemies gloated over her; they sneered at her downfall.ח( Khet)

He burned down the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.

Say to the house of Israel,‘ This is what the sovereign LORD says: Realize I am about to desecrate my sanctuary– the source of your confident pride, the object in which your eyes delight, and your life’s passion. Your very own sons and daughters whom you have left behind will die by the sword.

The Lord rejected his altar and abhorred his temple. He handed over to the enemy her palace walls; the enemy shouted in the Lord’s temple as if it were a feast day.ח( Khet)

“ The LORD is worthy of praise because he has made Israel his people secure just as he promised! Not one of all the faithful promises he made through his servant Moses is left unfulfilled!

They rendered the beauty of his ornaments into pride, and with it they made their abominable images– their detestable idols. Therefore I will render it filthy to them.I will give it to foreigners as loot, to the world’s wicked ones as plunder, and they will desecrate it.

Then the king turned around and pronounced a blessing over the whole Israelite assembly as they stood there.

King Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the LORD’s temple with cymbals and stringed instruments, just as David, Gad the king’s prophet, and Nathan the prophet had ordered.( The LORD had actually given these orders through his prophets.)The Levites had David’s musical instruments and the priests had trumpets.Hezekiah ordered the burnt sacrifice to be offered on the altar. As they began to offer the sacrifice, they also began to sing to the LORD, accompanied by the trumpets and the musical instruments of King David of Israel.The entire assembly worshiped, as the singers sang and the trumpeters played. They continued until the burnt sacrifice was completed.When the sacrifices were completed, the king and all who were with him bowed down and worshiped.King Hezekiah and the officials told the Levites to praise the LORD, using the psalms of David and Asaph the prophet. So they joyfully offered praise and bowed down and worshiped.

He said,“ The LORD God of Israel is worthy of praise because he has fulfilled what he promised my father David.

The priests stood in their assigned spots, along with the Levites who had the musical instruments used for praising the LORD.( These were the ones King David made for giving thanks to the LORD and which were used by David when he offered praise, saying,“ Certainly his loyal love endures.”) Opposite the Levites, the priests were blowing the trumpets, while all Israel stood there.

“ And you, son of man, this is what will happen on the day I take from them their stronghold– their beautiful source of joy, the object in which their eyes delight, and the main concern of their lives, as well as their sons and daughters:

When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the LORD’s splendor over the temple, they got on their knees with their faces downward toward the pavement. They worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying,“ Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!”

And he said to them,“ Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!”
