Lamentations 2:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 He attacked like an enemy
with a bow and arrows,
killing our loved ones.
He has burned to the ground
the homes on Mount Zion.[a]
5 The Lord was like an enemy!
He left Israel in ruins
with its palaces
and fortresses destroyed,
and with everyone in Judah
moaning and weeping.
6 He shattered his temple
like a hut in a garden;[b]
he completely wiped out
his meeting place,
and did away with festivals
and Sabbaths
in the city of Zion.
In his fierce anger he rejected
our king and priests.
Lamentations 2:4-6
New International Version
4 Like an enemy he has strung his bow;(A)
his right hand is ready.
Like a foe he has slain
all who were pleasing to the eye;(B)
he has poured out his wrath(C) like fire(D)
on the tent(E) of Daughter Zion.
