1 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel,and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob,and hath not pitied:he hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;he hath brought them down to the ground:he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel:he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy,and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy:he stood with his right hand as an adversary,and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion:he poured out his fury like fire.
