Daleth

He has bent His (A)bow like an enemy;
He has set His right hand like an adversary
And killed all that were (B)desirable to the eye;
In the tent of the daughter of Zion
He has (C)poured out His wrath like fire.

He

The Lord has become like an (D)enemy.
He has (E)swallowed up Israel;
He has swallowed up all its (F)palaces;
He has brought its strongholds to ruin
And (G)multiplied in the daughter of Judah
Mourning and moaning.

Vav

And He has violently treated His [a]tabernacle like a garden booth;
He has (H)brought His appointed [b]meeting place to ruin.
Yahweh has (I)caused to be forgotten
The appointed time and sabbath in Zion,
And He has (J)spurned king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.
