Lamentations 2:5-7

New International Version

⁵ The Lord is like an enemy;^(A)
    he has swallowed up Israel.
He has swallowed up all her palaces
    and destroyed her strongholds.^(B)
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation^(C)
    for Daughter Judah.^(D)

⁶ He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;
    he has destroyed^(E) his place of meeting.^(F)
The Lord has made Zion forget
    her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;^(G)
in his fierce anger he has spurned
    both king and priest.^(H)

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.^(I)
He has given the walls of her palaces^(J)
    into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of an appointed festival.^(K)
