Lamentations 2:6–7

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.

He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;

he has destroyed his place of meeting.

The Lord has made Zion forget

her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;

in his fierce anger he has spurned

both king and priest.

The Lord has rejected his altar

and abandoned his sanctuary.

He has given the walls of her palaces

into the hands of the enemy;

they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord

as on the day of an appointed festival.

He has wrecked his temple

as if it were merely a shack in a field,

destroying his place of meeting.

The Lord has abolished

appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.

He has despised king and priest

in his fierce anger.

The Lord has rejected his altar,

repudiated his sanctuary;

he has handed the walls of her palaces

over to the enemy.

They have raised a shout in the house of the Lord

as on the day of an appointed festival.

He has broken down his Temple

as though it were merely a garden shelter.

The Lord has blotted out all memory

of the holy festivals and Sabbath days.

Kings and priests fall together

before his fierce anger.

The Lord has rejected his own altar;

he despises his own sanctuary.

He has given Jerusalem’s palaces

to her enemies.

They shout in the Lord’s Temple

as though it were a day of celebration.

He has broken down his dwelling place like the garden;

he has ruined his appointed feasts;

Yahweh has made them forget in Zion

festival and Sabbath,

and he has despised in his anger

king and priest.

The Lord has rejected his altar;

he has rejected his sanctuary;

he has delivered into the hands of the enemy

the walls of its citadel fortresses.

They have cried out in the house of Yahweh

like a day of an appointed feast.

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly:

The Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion,

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

The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary,

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

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