Lamentations 2:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ He has bent His bow like an enemy,
    with his right hand set like an adversary;
    He has killed all who were pleasant to His eye;
in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion,
    He has poured out His fury like fire.

⁵ The Lord has become like an enemy;
    He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
    He has destroyed her strongholds,
and has increased mourning and lamentation
    in the daughter of Judah.

⁶ He has violently taken away His tabernacle as if it were a garden;
    He has destroyed His place of assembly;
the Lord has caused the solemn feasts and Sabbaths
    to be forgotten in Zion.
In his fierce indignation He has despised the king and the priest.
