1. How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zionwith a cloud in His anger!He has cast down from heaven to the earththe beauty of Israel;He has not remembered His footstoolin the day of His anger.
2. The Lord has swallowed up without mercyall the habitations of Jacob; In His wrath He has thrown downthe strongholds of the daughter of Judah;He has brought them down to the ground;He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
3. He has cut off in fierce angerall the might of Israel;He has drawn back His right handfrom before the enemy.He has burned against Jacoblike a flaming fire, devouring all around.
