Lamentations 2:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ The Lord has become like an enemy—
    he has devoured Israel.
He has devoured all of her palaces,
    destroying her fortresses.
He filled cherished Judah^[a]
    with mourning and lament.

⁶ He plowed under his Temple^[b] like a garden,
    spoiling his tent.
The Lord abolished in Zion
    both festivals and Sabbaths.
In his fierce wrath he despised
    both king and priest.

⁷ The Lord rejected his altar,
    disavowing his sanctuary.
He gave up her palace walls
    to the control of the enemy.
They shouted in the Lord’s Temple,
    as though they were attending a day of celebration.
