Lamentations 2:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden
    and destroyed his tabernacle.
The Lord has erased in Zion
    every memory of festivals and Sabbaths.
In his fierce anger he has treated with contempt
    king and priest alike.
⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.
He has delivered the walls of her palaces
    into the power of the enemy
who raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
    as on a festival day.
⁸ The Lord was determined to destroy
    the walls of the daughter of Zion.
He marked off its boundaries with a measuring line
    and did not relent in his purpose.
He caused both wall and rampart to lament;
    together they crumbled to the ground.
