Lamentations 2:3 in Context — Lamentations 2
1 Como o Senhor cobriu a filha de Sião com sua ira! Ele derrubou a formosura de Israel do céu à terra, e não se lembrou do estrado de seus pés no dia de sua ira.
2 O Senhor, destruiu sem compaixão todas as moradas de Jacó; derrubou em seu furor as fortalezas da filha de Judá, desonrou o reino e seus príncipes.
3 Cortou no furor de sua ira todo o poder de Israel; tirou sua mão direita de diante do inimigo; e se acendeu contra Jacó como labareda de fogo que consome ao redor.
4 Armou seu arco como inimigo, pôs sua mão direita como adversário, e matou todas as coisas agradáveis à vista; derramou sua indignação como fogo na tenda da filha de Sião.
5 O Senhor tornou-se como inimigo, destruiu a Israel; destruiu todos os seus palácios, arruinou as suas fortalezas; e multiplicou na filha de Judá a lamentação e a tristeza.
