6And she hath violently taken away his ||ttabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed uhis places of the assembly:

The Lord hath caused uthe solemn feasts and vsabbaths to be forgotten in Zion,

And whath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

7The Lord hath xcast off his altar, he hath yabhorred his sanctuary,

He hath †given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces;

zThey have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.

He has laid waste his booth like a garden,

laid in ruins his meeting place;

the Lord has made Zion forget

festival and Sabbath,

and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

The Lord has scorned his altar,

disowned his sanctuary;

he has delivered into the hand of the enemy

the walls of her palaces;

they raised a clamor in the house of the Lord

as on the day of festival.
