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.
