The Lord Destroyed Jerusalem

Look how the Lord in his anger
    has brought Jerusalem to shame.
He has thrown down the greatness of Israel
    from the sky to the earth;
he did not remember the Temple, his footstool,
    on the day of his anger.

The Lord swallowed up without mercy
    all the houses of the people of Jacob;
in his anger he pulled down
    the strong places of Judah.
He threw her kingdom and its rulers
    down to the ground in dishonor.

In his anger he has removed
    all the strength of Israel;
he took away his power from Israel
    when the enemy came.
He burned against the people of Jacob like a flaming fire
    that burns up everything around it.
