2 How the Lord has overshadowed
Daughter Zion with his anger!
He has thrown down Israel’s glory
from heaven to earth.
He did not acknowledge his footstool^(A)
in the day of his anger.^(B)

⁴ He has strung his bow like an enemy;^(A)
his right hand is positioned like an adversary.
He has killed everyone who was the delight to the eye,^(B)
pouring out his wrath like fire
on the tent of Daughter Zion.

⁸ The Lord determined to destroy
the wall of Daughter Zion.
He stretched out a measuring line^(A)
and did not restrain himself from destroying.
He made the ramparts and walls grieve;
together they waste away.

²² Daughter Zion, your punishment is complete;
he will not lengthen your exile.^[a]
But he will punish your iniquity, Daughter Edom,
and will expose your sins.^(A)
