⁴ A ^(A)sound of tumult on the mountains,
Like that of many people!
A sound of the rumbling of kingdoms,
Of nations gathered together!
Yahweh of hosts is mustering the host for battle.

⁵ The Lord has become like an ^(A)enemy.
He has ^(B)swallowed up Israel;
He has swallowed up all its ^(C)palaces;
He has brought its strongholds to ruin
And ^(D)multiplied in the daughter of Judah
Mourning and moaning.

⁷ The Lord has ^(A)rejected His altar;
He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He ^(B)has delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a ^(C)noise in the house of Yahweh
As in the day of an appointed time.
