Lamentations 2:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ The Lord is like an enemy;
He has swallowed up Israel.
He swallowed up all its palaces
and destroyed its fortified cities.
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation
within Daughter Judah.^(A)

⁶ He has done violence to His temple^[a]
as if it were a garden booth,
destroying His place of meeting.^(B)
The Lord has abolished
appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.
He has despised king and priest
in His fierce anger.

⁷ The Lord has rejected His altar,
repudiated His sanctuary;^(C)
He has handed the walls of her palaces
over to the enemy.
They have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
as on the day of an appointed festival.
