2 How the Lord in his anger
    has set the daughter of Zion ^(A)under a cloud!
^(B)He has cast down from heaven to earth
    the splendour of Israel;
he has not remembered ^(C)his footstool
    in the day of his anger.

47 ^(A)Come down and sit in the dust,
    O virgin ^(B)daughter of Babylon;
^(C)sit on the ground without a throne,
    O daughter of ^(D)the Chaldeans!
^(E)For you shall no more be called
    tender and delicate.
