Lamentations 2:6

And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, 1 He has marred his feast: 1 The Lord has forgotten the feast 1 And the Sabbath which he appointed in Zion, 1 And in the fury of his wrath 1 Has vexed the king, and priest, and prince. 1

Updated Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

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.

7The Lord has rejected his altar, 1 He has cast off his sanctuary, 1 He has broken by the hand of the enemy 1 The wall of her palaces; 1 They have uttered their voice in the house of the Lord 1 As on a feast day. 1
