Lamentations 2:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 The Lord has become like an enemy;
he has destroyed Israel;
he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses;[a]
he has ruined all its fortifications
and multiplied lamentation and mourning
in the daughter of Judah.
6 He has broken down his dwelling[b] place like the garden;
he has ruined his appointed feasts;
Yahweh has made them forget in Zion
festival[c] and Sabbath,
and he has despised in his anger
king and priest.
7 The Lord has rejected his altar;
he has rejected his sanctuary;
he has delivered into the hands of the enemy
the walls of its citadel fortresses.[d]
They have cried out in the house of Yahweh
like a day of an appointed feast.
