Lamentations 2:2-4
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
2 The Lord has destroyed without mercy
all the habitations of Jacob;
in his wrath he has broken down
the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
he has brought down to the ground in dishonor
the kingdom and its rulers.
3 He has cut down in fierce anger
all the might of Israel;
he has withdrawn from them his right hand
in the face of the enemy;
he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
consuming all around.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set like a foe;
and he has slain all the pride of our eyes
in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
Lamentations 2:2-4

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
