Lamentations 2:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ז Zayin
7 The Lord has rejected His altar,
repudiated His sanctuary;(A)
He has handed the walls of her palaces
over to the enemy.
They have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
as on the day of an appointed festival.
ח Khet
8 The Lord determined to destroy
the wall of Daughter Zion.
He stretched out a measuring line(B)
and did not restrain Himself from destroying.
He made the ramparts and walls grieve;
together they waste away.
ט Tet
9 Zion’s gates have fallen to the ground;(C)
He has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.
Her king and her leaders live among the nations,
instruction[a] is no more,
and even her prophets receive
no vision from the Lord.(D)
