Bible verse
They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.
Psalm 74:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 74.
4 Your foes have roared within Your meeting place; they have unfurled their banners as signs,
5 like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees
6 and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.
7 They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.
8 They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.
9 There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer any prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.
10 How long, O God, will the enemy taunt You? Will the foe revile Your name forever?
11 Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!
12 Yet God is my King from ancient times, working salvation on the earth.
