Lamentations 2:2-4
Names of God Bible
2 Adonay swallowed up all of Jacob’s pastures without any pity.
He tore down the fortified cities of Judah in his fury.
He brought the kingdom of Judah and its leaders
down to the ground in dishonor.
3 In his burning anger he cut off all of Israel’s strength.
He withdrew his right hand when they faced their enemy.
He burned like a raging fire in the land of Jacob,
destroying everything around him.
4 Like an enemy he bent his bow.
Like an opponent his right hand held the arrow steady.
He killed all the beautiful people.
He poured out his fury like fire on the tent of Zion’s people.
Lamentations 2:2-4
New International Version
2 Without pity(A) the Lord has swallowed(B) up
all the dwellings of Jacob;
in his wrath he has torn down
the strongholds(C) of Daughter Judah.
He has brought her kingdom and its princes
down to the ground(D) in dishonor.
