“Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.”
The reference to enemies roaring in the sanctuary articulates the ultimate violation: the desecration of God's holy place by foreign invaders. The roaring of enemies in the sanctuary represents the complete inversion of the proper order: the place of God's dwelling has become the domain of God's enemies. This verse articulates the sacrilege involved in the destruction.
