Lamentations 2:4-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ He has bent His bow like an enemy;^(A)
His right hand is positioned like an adversary.
He has killed everyone who was loved,^[a]
pouring out His wrath like fire
on the tent of Daughter Zion.

⁵ The Lord is like an enemy;
He has swallowed up Israel.
He swallowed up all its palaces
and destroyed its fortified cities.
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation
within Daughter Judah.^(B)

⁶ He has done violence to His temple^[b]
as if it were a garden booth,
destroying His place of meeting.^(C)
The Lord has abolished
appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.
He has despised king and priest
in His fierce anger.
