He has done violence (A)to His [a]tabernacle,
(B)As if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has (C)spurned the king and the priest.

The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has (D)abandoned His sanctuary;
He has [b]given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
(E)They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.

The Lord has [c]purposed to destroy
The (F)wall of the daughter of Zion.
(G)He has stretched out a line;
He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.
