Lamentations 2:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The Lord was like an enemy;
    he swallowed up Israel.
He swallowed up all her palaces
    and destroyed all her strongholds.
He has ·caused more [multiplied] moaning and groaning
    for ·Judah [^Lthe daughter of Judah].

⁶ He ·cut down [laid waste to; violently treated] his ·Temple [^Lbooth] like a ·garden [vineyard];
    he destroyed the meeting place.
The Lord has made ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple] forget
    the ·set feasts [or meeting place] and Sabbath days.
He has ·rejected [despised] the king and the priest
    in his great anger.

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and ·abandoned [disavowed] his ·Temple [^LHoly Place; Ezek. 9–11].
He has ·handed over to [^Ldelivered into the hand of] the enemy
    the walls of its [^Cprobably Jerusalem’s] palaces.
·Their uproar [^LThey gave forth voice] in the Lord’s ·Temple [^Lhouse]
    was like that of a feast day.
