Lamentations 2:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ He has violently taken away His tabernacle as if it were a garden;
    He has destroyed His place of assembly;
the Lord has caused the solemn feasts and Sabbaths
    to be forgotten in Zion.
In his fierce indignation He has despised the king and the priest.

⁷ The Lord has scorned His altar,
    He has disowned His sanctuary;
He has given up the walls of her palaces
    into the hand of the enemy.
They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of a solemn feast.

⁸ The Lord has purposed to destroy
    the wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has stretched out a line;
    He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
therefore He caused the rampart and the wall to lament;
    they languished together.
