Lamentations 2:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ He stripped his own booth as if it were a garden
and destroyed his own festivals.
The Lord wiped out the memory of festivals and days of rest—holy days—in Zion.
He expelled kings and priests because of his fierce anger.
⁷ The Lord rejected his altar and disowned his holy place.
He handed the walls of Zion’s palaces over to its enemies.
The enemies made noise in the Lord’s temple
as though it were a festival day.
⁸ The Lord planned to destroy the wall of Zion’s people.
He marked it off with a line.
He didn’t take his hand away until he had swallowed it up.
He made the towers and walls mourn.
They are completely dejected.
