Here "stronghold" is a metaphor for the temple. Yahweh speaks of destroying the temple as if he were an army invading a fortified city. Alternate translation: "that I destroy their temple" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# the joy of their splendor
"the splendor in which they take joy" or "the splendid building in which they take joy"
# the delight of their eyes
"the temple, which they love very much." See how you translated similar words in [Ezekiel 24:16 ](../24/16.md ).
# the burden of their soul
Here the word "burden" is used in a good sense. "What they think most about" or "What they love the most."
