Lamentations 2:5-7

New Catholic Bible

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.
⁶ He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden
    and destroyed his tabernacle.
The Lord has erased in Zion
    every memory of festivals and Sabbaths.
In his fierce anger he has treated with contempt
    king and priest alike.
⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.
He has delivered the walls of her palaces
    into the power of the enemy
who raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
    as on a festival day.
