Lamentations 2:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ The Lord has ^(A)rejected His altar,
He has ^[a]repudiated His sanctuary;
He ^(B)has handed over
The walls of her palaces to the enemy.
They have made a ^(C)noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of an appointed feast.
⁸ The Lord determined to destroy
The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has ^(D)stretched out a line,
He has not restrained His hand from ^[b]destroying,
And He has ^(E)caused rampart and wall to mourn;
They have languished together.
⁹ Her ^(F)gates have sunk into the ground,
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her leaders are among the nations;
The ^(G)Law is gone.
Her prophets, too, find
^(H)No vision from the Lord.
