1. How the Lord in his angerhas set the daughter of Zion under a cloud! He has cast down from heaven to earththe splendor of Israel;he has not remembered his footstoolin the day of his anger.
2. The Lord has swallowed up without mercyall the habitations of Jacob;in his wrath he has broken downthe strongholds of the daughter of Judah;he has brought down to the ground in dishonorthe kingdom and its rulers.
