(A)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
    with his right hand set (B)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
    in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.

(C)The Lord has become like an enemy;
    (D)he has swallowed up Israel;
(E)he has swallowed up all its palaces;
    he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
    (F)mourning and lamentation.

He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
    laid in ruins (G)his meeting place;
(H)the Lord has made Zion forget
    festival and (I)Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.
