Lamentations 2:4-7

English Standard Version

^4 (A)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
    with his right hand set ^(B)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
    in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.

^5 (C)The Lord has become like an enemy;
    ^(D)he has swallowed up Israel;
^(E)he has swallowed up all its palaces;
    he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
    ^(F)mourning and lamentation.

⁶ He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
    laid in ruins ^(G)his meeting place;
^(H)the Lord has made Zion forget
    festival and ^(I)Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

^7 (J)The Lord has scorned his altar,
    ^(K)disowned his sanctuary;
^(L)he has delivered into the hand of the enemy
    the walls of her palaces;
^(M)they raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of festival.
