Lamentations 2:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
ח Cheth
8 The Lord determined to destroy
the wall of Daughter Zion.
He stretched out a measuring line(A)
and did not restrain himself from destroying.
He made the ramparts and walls grieve;
together they waste away.
ט Teth
9 Zion’s gates have fallen to the ground;(B)
he has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.
Her king and her leaders live among the nations,
instruction[a] is no more,
and even her prophets receive
no vision from the Lord.(C)
י Yod
10 The elders of Daughter Zion
sit on the ground in silence.
They have thrown dust on their heads(D)
and put on sackcloth.
The young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.(E)
