Beth
2 The Lord has (A)swallowed up; He has not spared
All the habitations of Jacob.
In His wrath He has (B)pulled down
The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
He has (C)brought them down to the ground;
He has (D)profaned the kingdom and its princes.
Gimel
3 In [a]hot anger He has cut in pieces
[b]All the (E)strength of Israel;
He has (F)turned back His right hand
From before the enemy.
And He has (G)burned in Jacob like a flaming fire
Devouring round about.

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

King James Version
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
