The Lord rejected His altar,
    despised His Sanctuary.
He has delivered the walls of her citadels
        into the hand of the enemy.
They raised a shout in the house of Adonai
    as if it were the day of a moed.
Adonai resolved to destroy
    the wall of the daughter of Zion.
He stretched out a measuring line.
    He did not withdraw His hand from destroying.
He caused rampart and wall to lament—
    together they languished away.
Her gates sank into the ground.
    Her bars He destroyed and shattered.
Her king and princes are among nations.
    There is no more Torah.
Also her prophets find
    no vision from Adonai.
