Lamentations 2:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ In his fierce anger he broke off
    all the strength of Israel.
He withdrew the protection of his right hand
    at the approach of the enemy.
He blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
    that consumes everything in its path.
⁴ Like an enemy he bent his bow,
    with his right hand prepared for action.
Like a foe he slew all those
    in whom he once took great pride.
He poured forth his fury like fire
    over the tent of the daughter of Zion.
⁵ The Lord has become an enemy;^[a]
    he has annihilated Israel.
He has destroyed all its palaces
    and left all its strongholds in ruins.
For the daughter of Judah
    he has multiplied mourning and lamentation.
