Lamentations 2:1-9
1HowH351 the LordH136 has 12coveredH5743 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 WithH5743 aH5743 cloudH5743 in His angerH639! He has 3hurledH7993 The 4gloryH8597 of IsraelH3478 from heavenH8064 to earthH776, And has not rememberedH2142 His 5footstoolH1916H7272 In the dayH3117 of His angerH639.2The LordH136 has 67destroyedH1104; He has not sparedH2550 AllH3605 the settlementsH4999 of JacobH3290. In His wrathH5678 He has 8overthrownH2040 The strongholdsH4013 of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, He has 9hurledH5060 them downH5060 to the groundH776; He has 10profanedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and its leadersH8269.3In fierceH2750 angerH639 He has cutH1438 offH1438 11AllH3605 the 12strengthH7161 of IsraelH3478; He has 13pulledH7725 backH268 His rightH3225 handH3225 From the enemyH340. And He has 14burnedH1197 in JacobH3290 like a flamingH3852 fireH784 ConsumingH398 on allH5439 sidesH5439.4He has bentH1869 His 15bowH7198 like an enemyH340; His rightH3225 handH3225 is positionedH5324 like an adversaryH6862, And He has killedH2026 everythingH3605 that was 16pleasantH4261 to the eyeH5869. In the tentH168 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 He has 17pouredH8210 outH8210 His wrathH2534 like fireH784.5The LordH136 has becomeH1961 like an 18enemyH340. He has 19engulfedH1104 IsraelH3478; He has engulfedH1104 allH3605 its 20palacesH759, He has destroyedH7843 its strongholdsH4013 And 21causedH7235 greatH7235 mourningH8386 and grievingH592 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063.6And He has treatedH2554 His 22tabernacleH7900 violentlyH2554, like a despised gardenH1588; He has 23destroyedH7843 His appointedH4150 24meetingH4150 placeH4150. The LordH3068 has 25caused The appointedH4150 feastH4150 and SabbathH7676 in ZionH6726 to be forgottenH7911, And He has 26despisedH5006 kingH4428 and priestH3548 In the indignationH2195 of His angerH639.7The LordH136 has 27rejectedH2186 His altarH4196, He has 28repudiatedH5010 His sanctuaryH4720; He 29has handedH5462H3027 overH5462 The wallsH2346 of her palacesH759 to the enemyH340. They have madeH5414 a 30noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 As on the dayH3117 of an appointedH4150 feastH4150.8The LordH3068 determinedH2803 to destroyH7843 The wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. He has 31stretchedH5186 outH5186 a lineH6957, He has not restrainedH7725 His handH3027 from 32destroyingH1104, And He has 33caused rampartH2426 and wallH2346 to mournH56; They have languishedH535 togetherH3164.9Her 34gatesH8179 have sunkH2883 into the groundH776, He has destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 her barsH1280. Her kingH4428 and her leadersH8269 are among the nationsH1471; The 35LawH8451 isH369 goneH369. Her prophetsH5030, tooH1571, findH4672 36NoH3808 visionH2377 from the LordH3068.
