Lamentations 2:3 in Context — Lamentations 2
1 ¡CÓMO oscureció el Señor en su furor á la hija de Sión! Derribó del cielo á la tierra la hermosura de Israel, y no se acordó del estrado de sus pies en el día de su ira.
2 Destruyó el Señor, y no perdonó; destruyó en su furor todas las tiendas de Jacob: echó por tierra las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, deslustró el reino y sus príncipes.
3 Cortó con el furor de su ira todo el cuerno de Israel; hizo volver atrás su diestra delante del enemigo; y encendióse en Jacob como llama de fuego que ha devorado en contorno.
4 Entesó su arco como enemigo, afirmó su mano derecha como adversario, y mató toda cosa hermosa á la vista: en la tienda de la hija de Sión derramó como fuego su enojo.
5 Fué el Señor como enemigo, destruyó á Israel; destruyó todos sus palacios, disipó sus fortalezas: y multiplicó en la hija de Judá la tristeza y lamento.
