    2The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob, and has not pitied: He has thrown down in His wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground: He has defiled the kingdom and its princes.

    3He has cut off in His fierce anger all the strength of Israel: He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy, and He burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.

    4He has bent His bow like an enemy: He stood with His right hand as an adversary, and killed all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: He poured out His fury like fire.

    5The Lord was like an enemy: He has swallowed up Israel, He has swallowed up all her palaces: He has destroyed His strongholds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
