1 The Lord was angry!So he disgraced Zionthough it was Israel's prideand his own place of rest.In his anger he threw Zion downfrom heaven to earth.
2 The Lord had no mercy!He destroyed the homesof Jacob's descendants.In his anger he tore downevery walled city in Judah;he toppled the nationtogether with its leaders,leaving them in shame.
3 The Lord was so furiously angrythat he wiped outthe whole army of Israelby not supporting themwhen the enemy attacked.He was like a raging firethat swallowed upthe descendants of Jacob.
4 He attacked like an enemywith a bow and arrows,killing our loved ones.He has burnt to the groundthe homes on Mount Zion.
