Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord. 12 Go now to ^ymy place that was in Shiloh, ^zwhere I made my name dwell at first, and ^aasee what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, and ^abwhen I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and ^acwhen I called you, you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to ^adthe house ^aethat is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, ^afas I did to Shiloh.

Lamentations 2:6-7

6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins ^ajhis meeting place;
^akthe Lord has made Zion forget
festival and ^alSabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.
7 ^amThe Lord has scorned his altar,
^andisowned his sanctuary;
^aohe has delivered into the hand of the enemy
the walls of her palaces;
^apthey raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
as on the day of festival.
