The Lord has become as an enemy.
    He has swallowed up Israel.
He has swallowed up all her palaces.
    He has destroyed his strongholds.
    He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.

He has violently taken away his tabernacle,
    as if it were a garden.
He has destroyed his place of assembly.
    Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion.
    In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.

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.
