Lamentations 2:4-6
New King James Version
4 (A)Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
With His right hand, like an adversary,
He has slain (B)all who were pleasing to His eye;
On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
He has poured out His fury like fire.
5 (C)The Lord was like an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
(D)He has destroyed her strongholds,
And has increased mourning and lamentation
In the daughter of Judah.
6 He has done violence (E)to His [a]tabernacle,
(F)As if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has (G)spurned the king and the priest.

(B)After you have lost the others,
Will say again in your ears,
‘The place is too small for me;

‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro?
And who has brought these up?
There I was, left alone;
But these, where were they?’ ”

“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My [a]standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in their [b]arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
