The LORDª hath purposedª° to destroyª° the wallª of the daughterª of Zion:ª he hath stretched outª° a line,ª he hath not¹ withdrawnª° his handª from destroying:ª°¹ therefore he made the rampartª and the wallª to lament;ª° they languishedª° together.ª" {Lam 2:1-8} + "The LORDª hath doneª° [that] which¹ he had devised;ª° he hath fulfilledª° his wordª that¹ he had commandedª° in the daysª¹ of old:ª he hath thrown down,ª° and hath not¹ pitied:ª° and he hath caused [thine] enemyª° to rejoiceª° over¹ thee, he hath set upª° the hornª of thine adversaries.ª ... Thou hast calledª° as in a solemnª dayª my terrorsª round about,ª¹ so that in the dayª of the LORD'Sª angerª none¹ escapedª¹ nor remained:ª those that¹ I have swaddledª° and brought upª° hath mine enemyª° consumed.ª°" {Lam 2:17-22} + "And the LORDª sentª° against him¹ bandsª of the Chaldees,ª and bandsª of the Syrians,ª and bandsª of the Moabites,ª and bandsª of the childrenª of Ammon,ª and sentª° them against Judahª to destroyª° it, according to the wordª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° byª his servantsª the prophets.ª ...
