1How, in his anger,[#Literally “in his nose”]
the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion in a cloud!
He has thrown down from heavens to earth
and he has not remembered his footstool
2The Lord has devoured; he has not shown mercy
he has broken down in his wrath
he has leveled to the ground, he has dishonored
3He has cut down in fierce anger[#Literally “in a fierce nose”]
he has withdrawn his right hand
and he has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire,
4He has bent his bow like an enemy;
like a foe, and he has slain
in the tent of the daughter of Zion,
5The Lord has become like an enemy;
he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses;
and multiplied lamentation and mourning
6He has broken down his dwelling place like the garden;[#Literally “his booth”; or “his tabernacle”]
Yahweh has made them forget in Zion
and he has despised in his anger
7The Lord has rejected his altar;
he has delivered into the hands of the enemy
They have cried out in the house of Yahweh
8Yahweh has planned to destroy
He measured with a line; he has not restrained
he caused rampart and wall to mourn;
9Her gates have sunk into the earth;
her kings and its princes are among the nations;
Also, her prophets have not found
10They sit on the ground,
They cast dust on their head,
the young women of Jerusalem
11My eyes have spent all their tears;[#Literally “finished with the weeping”]
my heart is poured out on the earth
because child and babe faint
12To their mothers they say,
as they faint like the wounded
as their life is being poured out
13What can I say for you? What can I compare to you,
To what can I liken you so that I can comfort you,
For your destruction is as vast as the sea;
14Your prophets had a vision for you,
they have not exposed your sin,
they have seen oracles for you,
15They clap hands over you,
they hiss and they shake their head,
Is this the city of which it is said,
16They have opened their mouths against you,
They hiss and gnash a tooth,
Surely this is the day we have hoped for;
17Yahweh has done what he has planned;
that he ordained from the days of old;
he has made an enemy rejoice over you,
18Their heart cried to the Lord,
let tears stream down like a river;
do not give yourself relief,
19“Arise, cry out in the night,
pour out your heart like water,
Lift to him your hands,
who faint in starvation,
20See, Yahweh, and take note!
Should women eat their young
Should priest and prophet be slain
21They lie in the soil of the streets,
my young women and young men,
you have slain on the day of your anger,
22You have summoned my horror from all around,
no one on the day of Yahweh’s anger
whoever I have cared for and reared,
