Lamentations 2:1-3

Christian Standard Bible

2 How the Lord has overshadowed
Daughter Zion with his anger!
He has thrown down Israel’s glory
from heaven to earth.
He did not acknowledge his footstool^(A)
in the day of his anger.^(B)

² Without compassion^(C) the Lord has swallowed up
all the dwellings of Jacob.
In his wrath he has demolished
the fortified cities^(D) of Daughter Judah.
He brought them to the ground
and defiled the kingdom and its leaders.^(E)

³ He has cut off every horn^(F) of Israel
in his burning anger
and withdrawn his right hand^(G)
in the presence of the enemy.
He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
that consumes everything.^(H)
