Lamentations 2:7-9

King James Version

⁷The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.

⁸The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

⁹Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.

⁷The Lord has ^(A)rejected His altar,

The walls of her palaces to the enemy.
They have made a ^(C)noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of an appointed feast.

The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has ^(D)stretched out a line,
He has not restrained His hand from ^[b]destroying,

⁹Her ^(F)gates have sunk into the ground,
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her leaders are among the nations;
The ^(G)Law is gone.
Her prophets, too, find
^(H)No vision from the Lord.
