He has bent His (A)bow like an enemy;
His right hand is positioned like an adversary,
And He has killed everything that was (B)pleasant to the eye.
In the tent of the daughter of Zion
He has (C)poured out His wrath like fire.
The Lord has become like an (D)enemy.
He has (E)engulfed Israel;
He has engulfed all its (F)palaces,
He has destroyed its strongholds
And (G)caused great mourning and grieving in the daughter of Judah.
And He has treated His [a]tabernacle violently, like a despised garden;
He has (H)destroyed His appointed [b]meeting place.
The Lord has (I)caused
The appointed feast and Sabbath in Zion to be forgotten,
And He has (J)despised king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.
