^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.

⁷ The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has ^(H)abandoned His sanctuary;
He has ^[b]given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
^(I)They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.

^(C)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
