How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger! He cast down the beauty of Israel from the heavens to the earth and remembered not His footstool in the day of His anger.

Jehovah has cast off His altar; He rejected His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hater's hand. They gave a noise in the house of Jehovah, as a day of meeting.

And You cast off my soul from peace; I have forgotten blessedness.

For the Lord will not cast off forever;

They have cut off my life in the pit, and cast a stone at me.
