Names of God Bible
The Prophet Describes Jerusalem’s Destruction
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.
10 The respected leaders of Zion’s people sit silently on the ground.
They throw dirt on their heads and put on sackcloth.
The young women of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground.
11 My eyes are worn out with tears.
My stomach is churning.
My heart is poured out on the ground
because of the destruction of my people.
Little children and infants faint in the city streets.
