⁴ A ^(A)sound of a roar on the mountains,
Like that of many people!
A sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
Of nations gathered together!
The Lord of armies is mustering the army for battle.

⁵ The Lord has become like an ^(A)enemy.
He has ^(B)engulfed Israel;
He has engulfed all its ^(C)palaces,
He has destroyed its strongholds
And ^(D)caused great mourning and grieving in the daughter of Judah.

⁷ The Lord has ^(A)rejected His altar,
He has ^[a]repudiated His sanctuary;
He ^(B)has handed over
The walls of her palaces to the enemy.
They have made a ^(C)noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of an appointed feast.
