menu_book Verse in Context

33 After these things, Nicanor went up to mount Zion. Some of the priests came out of the sanctuary, with some of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to show him the whole burned sacrifice that was being offered for the king.

34 He mocked them, laughed at them, derided them shamefully, spoke arrogantly,

35 and swore in a rage, saying, “Unless Judas and his army are now delivered into my hands, it shall be that, if I return safely, I will burn up this house!” And he went out in a great rage.

36 The priests entered in, and stood before the altar and the temple; and they wept, and said,

37 “You chose this house to be called by your name, to be a house of prayer and supplication for your people.
