Lamentations 2:7

My Lord hath rejected his altar, hath abhorred his sanctuary, hath delivered, into the hand of the foe, the walls of her castles,—A voice, have they uttered in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed assembly.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

6Thus hath he destroyed, like a garden, his pavilion, hath laid waste his place of assembly,—Yahweh, hath caused to be forgotten, in Zion, the appointed assembly and the sabbath, and hath spurned, in the indignation of his anger, the king and the priest.

8Yahweh hath devised to lay in ruins, the wall of the daughter of Zion, he hath stretched out a line, he hath not turned back his hand from swallowing up,—Thus hath he caused to mourn—rampart and wall, together, have they languished!
