The Lord has become like an (A)enemy.
He has (B)swallowed up Israel;
He has swallowed up all its (C)palaces,
He has destroyed its strongholds
And (D)multiplied in the daughter of Judah
Mourning and moaning.
And He has violently treated His [a]tabernacle like a garden booth;
He has (E)destroyed His appointed [b]meeting place.
The Lord has (F)caused to be forgotten
The appointed feast and sabbath in Zion,
And He has (G)despised king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.
The Lord has (H)rejected His altar,
He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He (I)has delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a (J)noise in the house of the Lord
As in the day of an appointed feast.
