3. In his fury he shattered the strength of Israel;He refused to help us when the enemy came.He raged against us like fire, destroying everything.
4. He aimed his arrows at us like an enemy;He killed all those who were our joy and delight.Here in Jerusalem we felt his burning anger.
5. Like an enemy, the Lord has destroyed Israel;He has left her forts and palaces in ruins.He has brought on the people of Judah unending sorrow.
