7 The Lord has rejected his altar
and abandoned his sanctuary.(A)
He has given the walls of her palaces(B)
into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
as on the day of an appointed festival.(C)

耶利米哀歌 2:7-9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
7 主丢弃了自己的祭坛，厌弃了自己的圣所。
他把宫殿的围墙，交付在仇敌的手里；
他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷，好象庆祝节日一样。
8 耶和华定意要拆毁锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的城墙；
他拉了准绳，决不停手，务要把它吞灭。
他使堡垒和城墙都悲哀，一同受痛苦。
9 锡安的众城门已经陷入地里；耶和华把锡安的门闩都毁坏折断了。
锡安的君王和领袖都身在列国中；锡安再没有律法了；
它的众先知也得不到从耶和华而来的异象。

Lamentations 2:7-9
King James Version
7 The 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.
8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Her 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.
