Lamentations 2:7
English Standard Version
7 (A)The Lord has scorned his altar,
(B)disowned his sanctuary;
(C)he has delivered into the hand of the enemy
the walls of her palaces;
(D)they raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
as on the day of festival.
Psalm 74:3-8

3 Direct your steps to (A)the perpetual ruins;
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4 Your foes have (B)roared in the midst of your meeting place;
(C)they set up their (D)own signs for (E)signs.
5 They were like those who swing (F)axes
in a forest of trees.[a]
6 And all its (G)carved wood
they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7 They (H)set your sanctuary on fire;
they (I)profaned (J)the dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.
8 They (K)said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;
they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
