TSK · Lamentations 2:5

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

Thus his anger burns against me, and he considers me among his enemies.

I will threaten Ariel, and she will mourn intensely and become like an altar hearth before me.

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies told me to say to this people,“Take note of what I say. Call for the women who mourn for the dead! Summon those who are the most skilled at it!”

All your allies have abandoned you. They no longer have any concern for you. For I have attacked you like an enemy would. I have chastened you cruelly. For your wickedness is so great and your sin is so much.

ב(Bet) The Lord destroyed mercilessly all the homes of Jacob’s descendants. In his anger he tore down the fortified cities of Daughter Judah. He knocked to the ground and humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.

He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front and back; written on it were laments, mourning, and woe.
