Lamentations 2:7-9
GOD’S WORD Translation
7 The Lord rejected his altar and disowned his holy place.
He handed the walls of Zion’s palaces over to its enemies.
The enemies made noise in the Lord’s temple
as though it were a festival day.
8 The Lord planned to destroy the wall of Zion’s people.
He marked it off with a line.
He didn’t take his hand away until he had swallowed it up.
He made the towers and walls mourn.
They are completely dejected.
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 the Lord.
