Lamentations 2:4 in Context — Lamentations 2
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.
6 Y quitó su tienda como de un huerto, destruyó el lugar de su congregación: Jehová ha hecho olvidar en Sión solemnidades y sábados, y ha desechado en el furor de su ira rey y sacerdote.
