TSK · Lamentations 2:7

I will lay your cities waste and make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will refuse to smell your soothing aromas.

He burned down the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.

He will defend the oppressed among the people; he will deliver the children of the poor and crush the oppressor.

Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags.

LORD, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us!

I looked and saw that the fruitful land had become a desert and that all of the cities had been laid in ruins. The LORD had brought this all about because of his blazing anger.

So, go to the place in Shiloh where I allowed myself to be worshiped in the early days. See what I did to it because of the wicked things my people Israel did.

“Micah from Moresheth prophesied during the time Hezekiah was king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah,‘The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says,“Zion will become a plowed field. Jerusalem will become a pile of rubble. The temple mount will become a mere wooded ridge.”’

‘Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.’

He burned down the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.

ה(He) The Lord, like an enemy, destroyed Israel. He destroyed all her palaces; he ruined her fortified cities. He made everyone in Daughter Judah mourn and lament.

I will bring the most wicked of the nations and they will take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the arrogance of the strong, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.

So I will set Judah on fire, and it will consume Jerusalem’s fortresses.”

And he said to them,“Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!”
