Lamentations 2:5–6
5 The Lord is like an enemy;
he has swallowed up Israel.
He swallowed up all its palaces
and destroyed its fortified cities.
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation
within Daughter Judah.i
6 He has wrecked his templeA
as if it were merely a shack in a field,B
destroying his place of meeting.j
The Lord has abolished
appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.
He has despised king and priest
in his fierce anger.
