Lamentations 2:1-9
1How1 the Lord has covered the Daughter of Zion with the cloud of His anger! He has cast the glory of Israel from heaven to earth. He has abandoned His footstool in the day of His anger.
2Without pity the Lord has swallowed upall the dwellings of Jacob.In His wrath He has demolishedthe fortified cities of the Daughter of Judah.He brought to the ground and defiledher kingdom and its princes.
3In fierce anger He has cut offevery horn2 of Israeland withdrawn His right handat the approach of the enemy.He has burned in Jacob like a flaming firethat consumes everything around it.
4He has bent His bow like an enemy;His right hand is positioned.Like a foe He has killedall who were pleasing to the eye;He has poured out His wrath like fireon the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
5The Lord is like an enemy;He has swallowed up Israel.He has swallowed up all her palacesand destroyed her strongholds.He has multiplied mourning and lamentationfor the Daughter of Judah.
6He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden booth;He has destroyed His place of meeting.The LORD has made Zion forgether appointed feasts and Sabbaths.In His fierce angerHe has despised both king and priest.
7The Lord has rejected His altar;He has abandoned His sanctuary;He has delivered the walls of her palacesinto the hand of the enemy.They have raised a shout in the house of the LORDas on the day of an appointed feast.
8The LORD determined to destroythe wall of the Daughter of Zion.He stretched out a measuring lineand did not withdraw His hand from destroying.He made the ramparts and walls lament;together they waste away.
9Her gates have sunk into the ground;He has destroyed and shattered their bars.Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations,the law is no more,and even her prophetsfind no vision from the LORD.
