And remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger.

And remembered not his temple, the place of his former abode, in the day of his anger.

Lamentations 2:3

He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel.

He hath, in his anger, weakened and cut off all the strength of Israel.

Lamentations 2:6

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he hath destroyed his places of the assembly.

That tabernacle of his, which he had settled amongst us for our comfort and protection, he hath now turned up, as if it were a garden, fit to be digged up for the use of plantation.

Lamentations 2:7

They have made a noise in the house of the Loud, as in the day of a solemn feast.

As we had wont, in our solemn feasts, to make a noise of joy and thankful acclamations in thy temple, so now they make no less noise of tumult and insultation over us.

Lamentations 2:8

He hath stretched out a line.

He hath destinated and appointed it to razing and ruin.

Lamentations 2:13

What thing shall I take to witness for thee? &c.

With what example of like misery shall I go about to comfort thee?

Lamentations 2:14

But have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

They have seen false visions; and pretended to bring those messages from God, which were never sent; and, by this means, have wronged thee, and have been the causes of this thy captivity.

Lamentations 2:22

Those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

Those, whom I have borne and bred up with all care and anxious diligence, hath mine enemy consumed.
