Lamentations 2:2

God’s Anger with Jerusalem

1 How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion
With a ^acloud in His anger!
^bHe cast down from heaven to the earth
^cThe beauty of Israel,
And did not remember ^dHis footstool
In the day of His anger.

2 The Lord has swallowed up and has ^anot pitied
All the dwelling places of Jacob.
He has thrown down in His wrath
The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
He has brought them down to the ground;
^bHe has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

3 He has cut off in fierce anger
Every¹ horn of Israel;
^aHe has drawn back His right hand
From before the enemy.
^bHe has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
Devouring all around.

4 ^aStanding like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
With His right hand, like an adversary,
He has slain ^ball who were pleasing to His eye;
On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
He has poured out His fury like fire.

5 ^aThe Lord was like an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
^bHe has destroyed her strongholds,
And has increased mourning and lamentation
In the daughter of Judah.
