Juicio de Dios sobre Sión

¡Cómo nubló, en su ira
el Señor a la hija de Sión(A)!
Ha arrojado del cielo a la tierra(B)
la gloria de Israel(C),
y no se ha acordado del estrado de sus pies(D)
en el día de su ira.
El Señor ha devorado, no ha perdonado(E)
ninguna de las moradas de Jacob.
Ha derribado en su furor
las fortalezas de la hija de Judá(F),
las ha echado por tierra(G);
ha profanado al reino y a sus príncipes(H).
Ha exterminado en el ardor de su ira
todas las fuerzas[a](I) de Israel;
ha echado atrás su diestra
en presencia del enemigo(J);
y se ha encendido en Jacob como llamas de fuego
devorando todo en derredor(K).

  1. Lamentaciones 2:3 Lit., todo cuerno

How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

[a]How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion
    with the cloud of his anger[b]!(A)
He has hurled down the splendor of Israel
    from heaven to earth;
he has not remembered his footstool(B)
    in the day of his anger.(C)

Without pity(D) the Lord has swallowed(E) up
    all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has torn down
    the strongholds(F) of Daughter Judah.
He has brought her kingdom and its princes
    down to the ground(G) in dishonor.

In fierce anger he has cut off
    every horn[c][d](H) of Israel.
He has withdrawn his right hand(I)
    at the approach of the enemy.
He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire
    that consumes everything around it.(J)
