6And he has scattered his tabernacle as a vine, He has marred his feast: The Lord has forgotten the feast And the Sabbath which he appointed in Zion, And in the fury of his wrath Has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.

— Lamentations 2:8 —
9Her gates are sunk into the ground: He has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, And her king and her prince among the Gentiles: There is no law, Nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.
