And after these things I heard that angel saying unto those angels who held the lamps: "Destroy, therefore, and overthrow its wall to its foundations, lest the enemy should boast and say: 'We have overthrown the wall of Zion, and we have burnt the place of the mighty God.'"

2And the Spirit restored me to the place where I had been standing before.
