My Lord is like an enemy.
        He has swallowed up Israel.
    He swallowed up all her citadels,
        destroyed her fortifications
    and multiplied mourning and moaning
        for the daughter of Judah.
Like the garden He laid waste His dwelling,
    destroyed His appointed meeting place.
Adonai has caused moed and Shabbat
    to be forgotten in Zion.
In the indignation of His anger
    He spurned king and kohen.
The Lord rejected His altar,
    despised His Sanctuary.
He has delivered the walls of her citadels
        into the hand of the enemy.
They raised a shout in the house of Adonai
    as if it were the day of a moed.
