Lamentations 2:1-2
New International Version - UK

2 [a]How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion
    with the cloud of his anger![b]
He has hurled down the splendour of Israel
    from heaven to earth;
he has not remembered his footstool
    in the day of his anger.

2 Without pity the Lord has swallowed up
    all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has torn down
    the strongholds of Daughter Judah.
He has brought her kingdom and its princes
    down to the ground in dishonour.
