Lamentations 2:1-2
New Living Translation

God’s Anger at Sin

2 The Lord in his anger
    has cast a dark shadow over beautiful Jerusalem.[a]
The fairest of Israel’s cities lies in the dust,
    thrown down from the heights of heaven.
In his day of great anger,
    the Lord has shown no mercy even to his Temple.[b]

2 Without mercy the Lord has destroyed
    every home in Israel.[c]
In his anger he has broken down
    the fortress walls of beautiful Jerusalem.[d]
He has brought them to the ground,
    dishonoring the kingdom and its rulers.
