Lamentations 2:6 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

He ripped away his sacred space like someone tearing up a garden. He destroyed the places where people gathered to worship. God let the holy celebrations and rest days fade from memory in Jerusalem, and in his fierce anger, he rejected both the king and the priests.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When God's patience runs out, even the most sacred things aren't safe from his anger.
