Psa 74:3-11, 83:3-9, Jer 50:15, 28, 51:24, 35, Hab 2:17-20, Zec 12:2-3 | ESV | STEP | Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins ; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary !

3 Direct your steps to ^athe perpetual ruins;
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4 Your foes have ^broared in the midst of your meeting place;
^cthey set up their ^down signs for ^esigns.
5 They were like those who swing ^faxes
in a forest of trees. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
6 And all its ^hcarved wood
they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7 They ⁱset your sanctuary on fire;
they ^jprofaned ^kthe dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.
8 They ^lsaid to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;
they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9 We do not see our ^msigns;
ⁿthere is no longer any prophet,
and there is none among us who knows how long.
10 How long, O God, ^ois the foe to scoff?
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
11 Why ^pdo you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take it from the fold of your garment ^{▼▼Hebrew from your bosom} and destroy them!

Psalms 83:3-9

3 They lay ^rcrafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your ^streasured ones.
4 They say, “Come, ^tlet us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5 For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6 the tents of ^uEdom and ^vthe Ishmaelites,
^wMoab and ^xthe Hagrites,
7 ^yGebal and ^zAmmon and ^aaAmalek,
^abPhilistia with the inhabitants of ^acTyre;
8 ^adAsshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of ^aethe children of Lot. Selah
9 Do to them as you did to ^afMidian,
as to ^agSisera and Jabin at ^ahthe river Kishon,

Jeremiah 50:15

15 ^aiRaise a shout against her all around;
she has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen;
^ajher walls are thrown down.
For ^akthis is the vengeance of the Lord:
take vengeance on her;
^aldo to her as she has done.

Jeremiah 50:28

28 “A voice! They ^amflee and escape from the land of Babylon, ^anto declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, vengeance for ^aohis temple.

Jeremiah 51:35

35 The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon,”
let the inhabitant of Zion say.

Habakkuk 2:17-20

17 ^aqThe violence ^ardone to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them,
^asfor the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
18 ^at“What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, ^aua teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes ^avspeechless idols!
19 ^awWoe to him ^axwho says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and ^aythere is no breath at all in it.
20 But ^azthe Lord is in his holy temple;
^balet all the earth keep silence before him.”

Zechariah 12:2-3

2 “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem ^bba cup of staggering to ^bcall the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem ^bdwill also be against Judah. 3 ^beOn that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. ^bfAll who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And ^bgall the nations of the earth will gather against it.
