2 Look how the Lord has covered daughter Zion^[a]
    with the cloud of his anger.
He has thrown her, the glory of Israel,
    from the sky to the ground.
In his anger he showed no care even for the Temple
    where he rests his feet.^[b]
2 The Lord destroyed the houses of Jacob.
    He destroyed them without mercy.
In his anger he destroyed the fortresses of Daughter Judah.
    He threw the kingdom of Judah and its rulers to the ground.
    He ruined the kingdom of Judah.
³ He was angry, and he destroyed
    all the strength of Israel.
He took away his right hand from Israel.
    He did this when the enemy came.
He burned like a flaming fire in Jacob.
    He was like a fire that burns all around.
