Lamentations 2:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 He has cut down in fierce anger[a]
all the might of Israel;
he has withdrawn his right hand
from the faces of the enemy,
and he has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire,
it has consumed all around.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy;
he has set his right hand
like a foe, and he has slain
all the treasures of the eye;[b]
in the tent of the daughter of Zion,
he has poured out his anger like fire.
5 The Lord has become like an enemy;
he has destroyed Israel;
he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses;[c]
he has ruined all its fortifications
and multiplied lamentation and mourning
in the daughter of Judah.
