ב Beth

Without compassion(A) the Lord has swallowed up
all the dwellings of Jacob.
In his wrath he has demolished
the fortified cities(B) of Daughter Judah.
He brought them to the ground
and defiled the kingdom and its leaders.(C)

ג Gimel

He has cut off every horn(D) of Israel
in his burning anger
and withdrawn his right hand(E)
in the presence of the enemy.
He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
that consumes everything.(F)

ד Daleth

He has strung his bow like an enemy;(G)
his right hand is positioned like an adversary.
He has killed everyone who was the delight to the eye,(H)
pouring out his wrath like fire
on the tent of Daughter Zion.
