Vav

And He has violently treated His [a]tabernacle like a garden booth;
He has (A)brought His appointed [b]meeting place to ruin.
Yahweh has (B)caused to be forgotten
The appointed time and sabbath in Zion,
And He has (C)spurned king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.

Zayin

The Lord has (D)rejected His altar;
He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He (E)has delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a (F)noise in the house of Yahweh
As in the day of an appointed time.

Heth

Yahweh [c]determined to bring to ruin
The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has (G)stretched out a line;
He has not turned His hand back from swallowing up,
And He has (H)caused rampart and wall to mourn;
They have languished together.
