He hath set me in dark places, as they that are dead of old.

He was to me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and in the indignation of his anger hath despised the king and the priest.
