Lamentations 2:1
EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord destroys Jerusalem[a]

2 The Lord was very angry.
He wanted Zion's people to be ashamed.
Zion was the most beautiful city in Israel.[b]
But he has put it down to the ground from its high place.
Zion was like a place where he had rested his feet.[c]
Now that he is angry, he has forgotten about that.
