Lamentations 2:1-4

1How the Lord has 1 2covered the daughter of Zion With a cloud in His anger! He has 3hurled The 4glory of Israel from heaven to earth, And has not remembered His 5footstool In the day of His anger.2The Lord has 6 7destroyed; He has not spared All the settlements of Jacob. In His wrath He has 8overthrown The strongholds of the daughter of Judah, He has 9hurled them down to the ground; He has 10profaned the kingdom and its leaders.3In fierce anger He has cut off 11All the 12strength of Israel; He has 13pulled back His right hand From the enemy. And He has 14burned in Jacob like a flaming fire Consuming on all sides.4He has bent His 15bow like an enemy; His right hand is positioned like an adversary, And He has killed everything that was 16pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion He has 17poured out His wrath like fire.
