And he hath violently taken away his [a]tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he hath destroyed his place of assembly:
Jehovah hath caused [b]solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion,
And hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary;
He hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces:
They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion;
He hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from [c]destroying;
And he hath made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
