Lamentations 2:1-2

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

God’s Warnings Fulfilled

2 How the Lord in his anger
    has humiliated^[a] daughter Zion!
He has thrown down from heaven to earth
    the splendor of Israel;
he has not remembered his footstool
    in the day of his anger.

²The Lord has destroyed without mercy
    all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has broken down
    the strongholds of daughter Judah;
he has brought down to the ground in dishonor
    the kingdom and its rulers.
