Lamentations 2:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy;
he has set his right hand
like a foe, and he has slain
all the treasures of the eye;[a]
in the tent of the daughter of Zion,
he has poured out his anger like fire.
5 The Lord has become like an enemy;
he has destroyed Israel;
he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses;[b]
he has ruined all its fortifications
and multiplied lamentation and mourning
in the daughter of Judah.
6 He has broken down his dwelling[c] place like the garden;
he has ruined his appointed feasts;
Yahweh has made them forget in Zion
festival[d] and Sabbath,
and he has despised in his anger
king and priest.
