The Lord's Wrath Poured Out
Lamentations 2
This chapter describes the Lord's anger consuming Sion: her strongholds, gates, sanctuary, and altar are thrown down, her king and priests dishonored, and her prophets left without vision. The elders sit in silent mourning, children and infants faint with hunger in the streets, and the chapter closes by urging the city to cry out and pour out her heart before the Lord.
