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.
