⁶ He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;

in his fierce anger he has spurned
    both king and priest.^(D)

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.^(E)
He has given the walls of her palaces^(F)

    as on the day of an appointed festival.^(G)

⁴ The roads to Zion mourn,^(A)
    for no one comes to her appointed festivals.

I will give you honor^(B) and praise^(C)
    among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes^[a](D)
    before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.
