ג (Gimel)
2:3 In fierce anger 1 he destroyed 2
the whole army 3 of Israel.
He withdrew his right hand 4
as the enemy attacked. 5
He was like a raging fire in the land of Jacob; 6
it consumed everything around it. 7
ד (Dalet)
2:4 He prepared his bow 8 like an enemy;
his right hand was ready to shoot. 9
Like a foe he killed everyone,
even our strong young men; 10
he has poured out his anger like fire
on the tent 11 of Daughter Zion.
ה (He)
2:5 The Lord, 12 like an enemy,
destroyed 13 Israel.
He destroyed 14 all her palaces;
he ruined her 15 fortified cities.
He made everyone in Daughter Judah
mourn and lament. 16
