They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

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

Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
