25:002:006 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were
           of a garden:  he hath destroyed his places of the assembly:  the
           lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be
           forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his
           anger the king and the priest.

25:002:007 The lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his
           sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the
           walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of
           the lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.

25:002:008 The lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of
           Zion:  he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his
           hand from destroying:  therefore he made the rampart and the
           wall to lament; they languished together.

25:002:009 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and
           broken her bars:  her king and her princes are among the
           Gentiles:  the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision
           from the lord.

25:002:010 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and
           keep silence:  they have cast up dust upon their heads; they
           have girded themselves with sackcloth:  the virgins of
           Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

25:002:011 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver
           is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter
           of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in
           the streets of the city.

25:002:012 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they
           swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their
           soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.

25:002:013 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall
           I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal
           to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion?
           for thy breach is great like the sea:  who can heal thee?

25:002:014 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee:  and
           they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy
           captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of
           banishment.

25:002:015 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag
           their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the
           city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the
           whole earth?

25:002:016 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee:  they
           hiss and gnash the teeth:  they say, We have swallowed her up: 
           certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found,
           we have seen it.
