covered
the
daughter

Zion
with a
cloud
in his
anger

down
from

unto the
earth
the
beauty

hath swallowed
up
all the

pitied

down

wrath
the strong
holds
of the

down

polluted
the

strkjv@Lamentations:2:3
@ He hath cut
off

all the

his right

burned

fire

was as an

increased

mourning

strkjv@Lamentations:2:6
@ And he hath violently taken
away
his
tabernacle

hath caused the solemn
