For this city hath been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:

Διοτι η πολις αυτη εσταθη εις εμε ερεθισμος της οργης μου και του θυμου μου, αφ' ης ημερας ωκοδομησαν αυτην εως της ημερας ταυτης, δια να απορριψω αυτην απ' εμπροσθεν μου,

For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
