Lamentations 2:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ He dealt violently with his shelter like a shed in a garden.^[a] He ruined his meeting place.
    The Lord has caused the appointed assembly and the Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion.
    In his indignation and anger he showed contempt for king and priest.
⁷ The Lord rejected his altar. He abandoned his holy place.
    He delivered her walls and palaces into the hand of the enemy.
    They gave a shout in the House of the Lord,
    like that on the day of an appointed assembly.
⁸ The Lord had in mind to ruin the wall of the daughter of Zion.
    He stretched out a measuring line. He did not restrain his hand from swallowing her up.
    He made its rampart and wall mourn. Together they became weak.
