1 How the Lord has overshadowedDaughter Zion with His anger!He has thrown down Israel’s gloryfrom heaven to earth.He has abandoned His footstool in the day of His anger.
2 Without compassion the Lord has swallowed upall the dwellings of Jacob.In His wrath He has demolishedthe fortified cities of Daughter Judah.He brought them to the groundand defiled the kingdom and its leaders.
3 He has cut off every horn of Israelin His burning angerand withdrawn His right hand in the presence of the enemy.He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming firethat consumes everything.
4 He has bent His bow like an enemy; His right hand is positioned like an adversary.He has killed everyone who was loved, pouring out His wrath like fireon the tent of Daughter Zion.
