Lamentations 2:4-6

4 ^dHe has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set ^elike a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
5 ^fThe Lord has become like an enemy;
^ghe has swallowed up Israel;
^hhe has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
ⁱmourning and lamentation.
6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins ^jhis meeting place;
^kthe Lord has made Zion forget
festival and ^lSabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.
