Lamentations 2:1-3

Holman 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 has abandoned His footstool^[a](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and withdrawn His right hand^(G)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)
