Lamentations 2:7

Adonoi hath cast off His Mizbe'ach, 1 He hath disowned His Mikdash, 1 He hath given up into the yad oyev 1 the chomot armonot of hers; 1 they have raised shouts in the Beis Hashem, 1 as in the Yom Mo'ed. 1

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

8Hashem hath purposed to destroy 1 the Chomat Bat Tziyon; 1 He hath stretched out a measuring line, 1 He hath not withdrawn His hand from destroying; 1 therefore He made the rampart and the chomah to lament; 1 they languished together. 1
