Lamentations 2:3-5
English Standard Version
3 He has cut down in (A)fierce anger
all (B)the might of Israel;
(C)he has withdrawn from them his right hand
in the face of the enemy;
(D)he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
consuming all around.
4 (E)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set (F)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
5 (G)The Lord has become like an enemy;
(H)he has swallowed up Israel;
(I)he has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
(J)mourning and lamentation.
