1 How the Lord in his wrathhas abhorred daughter Zion,Casting down from heaven to earththe glory of Israel,Not remembering his footstoolon the day of his wrath!
2 The Lord has devoured without pityall of Jacob’s dwellings;In his fury he has razeddaughter Judah’s defenses,Has brought to the ground in dishonora kingdom and its princes.
3 In blazing wrath, he cut down entirelythe horn of Israel;He withdrew the support of his right handwhen the enemy approached;He burned against Jacob like a blazing firethat consumes everything in its path.
4 He bent his bow like an enemy;the arrow in his right handLike a foe, he killedall those held precious;On the tent of daughter Zionhe poured out his wrath like fire.
5 The Lord has become the enemy,he has devoured Israel:Devoured all its strongholds,destroyed its defenses,Multiplied moaning and groaningthroughout daughter Judah.
6 He laid waste his booth like a garden,destroyed his shrine;The Lord has blotted out in Zionfeast day and sabbath,Has scorned in fierce wrathking and priest.
7 The Lord has rejected his altar,spurned his sanctuary;He has handed over to the enemythe walls of its strongholds.They shout in the house of the Lordas on a feast day.
