1. Oh, oh, oh . . .How the Master has cut down Daughter Zionfrom the skies, dashed Israel’s glorious city to earth,in his anger treated his favorite as throwaway junk.
2. The Master, without a second thought, took Israel in one gulp.Raging, he smashed Judah’s defenses,made hash of her king and princes.
3. His anger blazing, he knocked Israel flat,broke Israel’s arm and turned his back just as the enemy approached,came on Jacob like a wildfire from every direction.
4. Like an enemy, he aimed his bow, bared his sword,and killed our young men, our pride and joy.His anger, like fire, burned down the homes in Zion.
5. The Master became the enemy. He had Israel for supper.He chewed up and spit out all the defenses.He left Daughter Judah moaning and groaning.
6. He plowed up his old trysting place, trashed his favorite rendezvous.God wiped out Zion’s memories of feast days and Sabbaths,angrily sacked king and priest alike.
