Devouring round about.

4 He has bent His (D)bow like an enemy;
He has set His right hand like an adversary
And killed all that were (E)desirable to the eye;

5 The Lord has become like an (G)enemy.

And (J)multiplied in the daughter of Judah
Mourning and moaning.

Lamentations 2:3-5
New King James Version
3 He has cut off in fierce anger
Every [a]horn of Israel;
(A)He has drawn back His right hand
From before the enemy.
(B)He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
Devouring all around.
4 (C)Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
With His right hand, like an adversary,
He has slain (D)all who were pleasing to His eye;
On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
He has poured out His fury like fire.
5 (E)The Lord was like an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
(F)He has destroyed her strongholds,
And has increased mourning and lamentation
In the daughter of Judah.
