⁶ He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;
    he has destroyed^(A) his place of meeting.^(B)
The Lord has made Zion forget
    her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;^(C)
in his fierce anger he has spurned
    both king and priest.^(D)

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.^(E)
He has given the walls of her palaces^(F)
    into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of an appointed festival.^(G)

⁸ The Lord determined to tear down
    the wall around Daughter Zion.^(H)
He stretched out a measuring line^(I)
    and did not withhold his hand from destroying.
He made ramparts^(J) and walls lament;
    together they wasted away.^(K)
