Lamentations 2:1-2

New Catholic Bible

¹ Behold how the Lord in his anger
    has enveloped in darkness the daughter of Zion.
He has hurled down from heaven to earth
    the glory of Israel,
without any sign of regard for his footstool
    on the day of his anger.
² Without mercy, the Lord has destroyed
    all the dwellings of Jacob.
In his wrath he has torn down
    the fortresses of the daughter of Judah.
He has thrown to the ground in dishonor
    the kingdom and its rulers.
