New King James Version
Lamentations 2
1 In the day of His anger. 2 He has profaned the kingdom and its princes. 3 Devouring all around. 4 He has poured out His fury like fire. 5 In the daughter of Judah. 6 In His burning indignation He has spurned the king and the priest. 7 As on the day of a set feast. 8 They languished together. 9 And her prophets find no vision from the Lord. 10 Bow their heads to the ground. 11 Faint in the streets of the city. 12 In their mothers’ bosom. 13 Who can heal you? 14 But have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions. 15 The joy of the whole earth’?” 16 We have found it, we have seen it!” 17 He has exalted the horn of your adversaries. 18 Give your eyes no rest. 19 Who faint from hunger at the head of every street.” 20 In the sanctuary of the Lord? 21 You have slaughtered and not pitied. 22 My enemies have destroyed.”
