Lamentations 2:4 in Context — Lamentations 2
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.
6 E com violência arrancou sua tenda, como [se fosse] de uma horta, destruiu o lugar de sua congregação; o SENHOR fez esquecer em Sião as solenidades e os sábados, E tem lançado no furor de sua ira rei e sacerdote.
