Lamentations 2:1-2

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Prophet Speaks Out: the Lord Destroyed Zion

2 ^[a]“Look how the Lord has covered the people of Zion
with the cloud of his anger!
He has thrown down Israel’s beauty from heaven to earth.
He didn’t ⌞even⌟ remember his footstool on the day of his anger.
²The Lord swallowed up all of Jacob’s pastures without any pity.
He tore down the fortified cities of Judah in his fury.
He brought the kingdom ⌞of Judah⌟ and its leaders
down to the ground in dishonor.
