Lamentations 2:7-9

Names of God Bible

⁷ Adonay rejected his altar and disowned his holy place.
    He handed the walls of Zion’s palaces over to its enemies.
        The enemies made noise in Yahweh’s temple
            as though it were a festival day.
⁸ Yahweh planned to destroy the wall of Zion’s people.
    He marked it off with a line.
    He didn’t take his hand away until he had swallowed it up.
    He made the towers and walls mourn.
        They are completely dejected.

⁹ “Zion’s gates have sunk into the ground.
    The Lord destroyed and shattered the bars across its gates.
    Its king and influential people are scattered among the nations.
    There is no longer any instruction from Moses’ Teachings.
    Its prophets can find no visions from Yahweh.
