Lamentations 2:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ The LORD has forsaken His Altar. He has abhorred His Sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the House of the LORD, as on the day of a solemn Feast.

⁸ The LORD has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He stretched out a line. He has not withdrawn His Hand from destroying. Therefore, He caused the rampart and the wall to lament. They were destroyed together.

⁹ Her gates have sunk to the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the Gentiles. The Law is no more, nor can her Prophets receive vision from the LORD.
