Zayin

The Lord has (A)rejected His altar;
He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He (B)has delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a (C)noise in the house of Yahweh
As in the day of an appointed time.

Heth

Yahweh [a]determined to bring to ruin
The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has (D)stretched out a line;
He has not turned His hand back from swallowing up,
And He has (E)caused rampart and wall to mourn;
They have languished together.

Teth

Her (F)gates have sunk into the ground;
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations;
The (G)law is no more.
Also, her prophets find
(H)No vision from Yahweh.
