Psalms 74:5

They invade like lumberjacks swinging their axes in a thick forest. ¹ 

They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees.

It seems as if one had lifted up His axe in a forest of trees.

They chopped down the entrance like woodcutters in a forest.

They set fire to the porch; axes swinging, they chopped up the woodwork,

They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.

At the upper entrance they hacked the wooden trellis with axes.

They seem like men who lift up Axes among the thick trees.

They invade like lumberjacks swinging their axes in a thick forest. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “it is known like one bringing upwards, in a thicket of wood, axes.” The Babylonian invaders destroyed the woodwork in the temple.
