Lamentations 2:7-9

World English Bible

⁷ The Lord has cast off his altar.
    He has abhorred his sanctuary.
He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy.
    They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house,
    as in the day of a solemn assembly.

⁸ Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion.
    He has stretched out the line.
    He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying;
He has made the rampart and wall lament.
    They languish together.

⁹ Her gates have sunk into the ground.
    He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not.
    Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
