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.
4. He has bent His bow like an enemy,with his right hand set like an adversary;He has killed all who were pleasant to His eye;in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion,He has poured out His fury like fire.
5. The Lord has become like an enemy;He has swallowed up Israel,He has swallowed up all her palaces;He has destroyed her strongholds,and has increased mourning and lamentationin the daughter of Judah.
