Lamentations 2

The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity

1 How the Lord in his anger
has set the daughter of Zion ^dunder a cloud!
^eHe has cast down from heaven to earth
the splendor of Israel;
he has not remembered ^fhis footstool
in the day of his anger.
2 The Lord ^ghas swallowed up ^hwithout mercy
all the habitations of Jacob;
in his wrath ⁱhe has broken down
the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
he has brought ^jdown to the ground ^kin dishonor
the kingdom ^land its rulers.
3 He has cut down in ^mfierce anger
all ⁿthe might of Israel;
^ohe has withdrawn from them his right hand
in the face of the enemy;
^phe has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
consuming all around.
4 ^qHe has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set ^rlike 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 ^sThe Lord has become like an enemy;
^the has swallowed up Israel;
^uhe has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
^vmourning and lamentation.
6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins ^whis meeting place;
^xthe Lord has made Zion forget
festival and ^ySabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.
7 ^zThe Lord has scorned his altar,
^aadisowned his sanctuary;
^abhe has delivered into the hand of the enemy
the walls of her palaces;
^acthey raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
as on the day of festival.
8 ^adThe Lord determined to lay in ruins
^aethe wall of the daughter of Zion;
^afhe stretched out the measuring line;
he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
^aghe caused rampart and wall to lament;
^ahthey languished together.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground;
^aihe has ruined ^ajand broken her bars;
^akher king and princes are among the nations;
the law is no more,
and ^alher prophets find
no vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
^amsit on the ground ^anin silence;
^aothey have thrown dust on their heads
and ^apput on sackcloth;
the young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.
11 ^aqMy eyes are spent with weeping;
^army stomach churns;
^asmy bile is poured out to the ground
^atbecause of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
^aubecause infants and babies ^avfaint
in the streets of the city.
12 They cry to their mothers,
^aw“Where is bread and wine?”
^axas they faint like a wounded man
in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
on their mothers’ bosom.
13 What can I say for you, ^ayto what compare you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
^azWhat can I liken to you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
^baFor your ruin is vast as the sea;
who can heal you?
14 ^bbYour prophets have seen for you
false and deceptive visions;
^bcthey have not exposed your iniquity
to ^bdrestore your fortunes,
^bebut have seen for you ^bforacles
that are false and misleading.
15 All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
^bgthey hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
^bhthe perfection of beauty,
^bithe joy of all the earth?”
16 ^bjAll your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We ^bkhave swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; ^blwe see it!”
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out ^bmhis word,
which he commanded ^bnlong ago;
^bohe has thrown down ^bpwithout pity;
^bqhe has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the ^brmight of your foes.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord.
O ^bswall of the daughter of Zion,
^btlet tears stream down like a torrent
^buday and night!
^bvGive yourself no rest,
^bwyour eyes no respite!
19 “Arise, ^bxcry out in the night,
at the beginning of the night watches!
^byPour out your heart like water
before the presence of the Lord!
^bzLift your hands to him
for the lives of your children,
^cawho faint for hunger
at the head of every street.”
20 Look, O Lord, and see!
^cbWith whom have you dealt thus?
^ccShould women eat the fruit of their womb,
the children of ^cdtheir tender care?
Should ^cepriest and prophet be killed
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 In the dust of the streets
^cflie the young and the old;
^cgmy young women and my young men
have fallen by the sword;
^chyou have killed them in the day of your anger,
slaughtering ^ciwithout pity.
22 You summoned as if to ^cja festival day
^ckmy terrors on every side,
^cland on the day of the anger of the Lord
no one escaped or survived;
^cmthose whom I held and raised
my enemy destroyed.

Ezekiel 7:20-21

20 ^cnHis beautiful ornament they used for pride, and ^cothey made their abominable images and their detestable things of it. Therefore ^cpI make it an unclean thing to them. 21And I will give it into the hands of ^cqforeigners for prey, ^crand to the wicked of the earth for spoil, and ^csthey shall profane it.

Ezekiel 24:21

21‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: ^ctBehold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and ^cuyour sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.

Luke 21:24

24They will fall by the edge of the sword and ^cvbe led captive among all nations, and ^cwJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ^cxuntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
