29 And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!
And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
`We heard him saying -- I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;'
Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed -- and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: `Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'
And they say one unto another, `Lo, this man of the dreams cometh; and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me, They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring. As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased; With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth. Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one. I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee. Mine enemies rejoice not over me `with' falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye. For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise, And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
Thou -- Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee `are' all mine adversaries. Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building `it', save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'
the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?' Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.' The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?' but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body; when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.
