Isaiah 63:18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while, Our adversaries have trodden it down.

Lamentations 1:7 In the days of her affliction and homelessness Jerusalem remembers all her precious things That were from the days of old, When her people fell into the hand of the adversary And no one helped her. The adversaries saw her, They mocked at her ruin.
