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.
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.
bAs if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has cspurned the king and the priest.
He has1 aabandoned His sanctuary;
He has given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
bThey have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.
The awall of the daughter of Zion.
bHe has stretched out a line;
He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.
He has destroyed and abroken her bars.
bHer king and her princes are among the1 nations;
cThe Law is no more,
And her dprophets find no vision from the Lord.
aSit on the ground and keep silence;
They bthrow dust on their heads
And cgird themselves with sackcloth.
The virgins of Jerusalem
Bow their heads to the ground.
