Lamentations 2

The second poem dwells on the fierce anger of the LORD, who has become like an enemy to His own city, tearing down her strongholds, ending her feasts and Sabbaths, and rejecting His altar and sanctuary. The horrors are unbearable — children fainting in the streets, mothers in anguish — and the poet weeps until his eyes fail, calling the Daughter of Zion to cry out to the Lord and pour out her heart like water before Him.
