“They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.”
The statement that enemies have set fire to the sanctuary and profaned the dwelling articulates the burning and profanation of the holy space. The fire represents ultimate destruction; the profanation indicates the ultimate violation. This verse articulates the totality of the desecration.
