Lamentations 2:7-9
New King James Version
7 The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has (A)abandoned His sanctuary;
He has [a]given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
(B)They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.
8 The Lord has [b]purposed to destroy
The (C)wall of the daughter of Zion.
(D)He has stretched out a line;
He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground;
He has destroyed and (E)broken her bars.
(F)Her king and her princes are among the [c]nations;
(G)The Law is no more,
And her (H)prophets find no [d]vision from the Lord.
