Psalm 74:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 They set your sanctuary on fire,
profaned your name’s abode by razing it to the ground.(A)
8 They said in their hearts, “We will destroy them all!
Burn all the assembly-places of God in the land!”
9 [a]Even so we have seen no signs for us,
there is no prophet any more,(B)
no one among us who knows for how long.
Footnotes
- 74:9 Even so we have seen no signs…: ancients often asked prophets to say for how long a divine punishment was to last, cf. 2 Sm 24:13. Here no prophet has arisen to indicate the duration.
