Lamentations 2:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar;
    he has rejected his sanctuary;
he has delivered into the hands of the enemy
    the walls of its citadel fortresses.^[a]
They have cried out in the house of Yahweh
    like a day of an appointed feast.
⁸ Yahweh has planned to destroy
    the wall of the daughter of Zion.
He measured with a line; he has not restrained
    his hand from destroying;
he caused rampart and wall to mourn;
    together they have languished away.
⁹ Her gates have sunk into the earth;
    he has ruined and broken her bars,
her kings and its princes are among the nations;
    there is no more law.^[b]
Also, her prophets have not found
    a revelation from Yahweh.
