Section XCI. THE JEWS IN PALESTINE AND EGYPT
[Sidenote: Lam. 2:1-5] How the Lord hath beclouded in his anger the
daughter of Zion! He hath cast down from heaven to earth the beauty of
Israel, And he hath not kept in remembrance his footstool in the day of
his anger. The Lord hath swallowed up without mercy every habitation
of Jacob, He hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the
daughter of Judah, He hath struck to the ground, he hath polluted her
king and her princes. He hath cut off in the fierceness of his anger all of
Israel's strength, He hath drawn back his right hand from before the
enemy, He hath burnt in Jacob like a flame, which devours on all sides.
He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath stood as an adversary, He
hath slain all the desirable men in the tent of Zion, He hath poured out
his fury as fire [on the daughter of Judah]. The Lord hath become like
an enemy, he hath swallowed up Israel, He hath swallowed up all of his
palaces, he hath destroyed his fortresses, And he hath multiplied in the
daughter of Judah sighing and lamentation.
[Sidenote: Lam. 2:6,7] He hath torn down as a vine his dwelling, he
hath destroyed his assembling place, He hath caused to be forgotten in
Zion, fast day and sabbath, And hath spurned in his indignant anger,
king and priest. The Lord hath rejected his altar, he hath abhorred his
sanctuary, He hath given up into the hands of the enemy the ark of the
covenant, They have made a din in Jehovah's house, as in the solemn
feast day.
[Sidenote: Lam. 2:8-10] Jehovah hath determined to destroy the wall of
Zion, He hath stretched out the line, he hath not held back his hand
from destroying, He hath made rampart and wall lament, they mourn
together, Her gates have sunk into the ground, he hath destroyed her
defences, Her king and her princes are among the heathen, there is no
law. Her prophets also receive from Jehovah no vision. Silent, upon the
earth sit the elders of Zion; They cast dust upon their heads; they are
girded with sackcloth; With heads bowed to earth are the daughters of

Jerusalem.
[Sidenote: Lam. 5:1-7] Remember, O Jehovah, what has befallen us,
Look and see our disgrace. Our inheritance is turned over to aliens, Our
homes belong to foreigners. We are orphans and fatherless, Our
mothers are like widows. We drink our water for money, Our wood
comes to us by purchase. The yoke upon our necks harasses us, We are
weary, but find no rest. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And
to the Assyrians, that we might be sated with food. Our fathers sinned
