He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
    laid in ruins (A)his meeting place;
(B)the Lord has made Zion forget
    festival and (C)Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

(D)The Lord has scorned his altar,
    (E)disowned his sanctuary;
(F)he has delivered into the hand of the enemy
    the walls of her palaces;
(G)they raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of festival.

(H)The Lord determined to lay in ruins
    (I)the wall of the daughter of Zion;
(J)he stretched out the measuring line;
    he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
(K)he caused rampart and wall to lament;
    (L)they languished together.
