37Upon this all the host assembled themselues together, and went vp into mount Sion. 38And when they saw the sanctuarie desolate, and the altar prophaned, and the gates burnt vp, and shrubs growing in the courts, as in a forrest, or in one of the mountaines, yea and the priests chambers pulled downe, 39They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes vpon their heads, 40And fell downe flat to the ground vpon their faces, and blew an alarme with the trumpets, and cried towards heauen. 41Then Iudas appointed certaine men to fight against those that were in the fortresse, vntill he had clensed the Sanctuarie.
