Lamentations
Lamentations says the Lord caused “feast and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion” and spurned king and priest in indignation. It also says the Lord has scorned his altar and disowned his sanctuary (Lamentations 2:6–7).
6He has violently taken away his tent, as if it were of a garden; he has destroyed his place of assembly: Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, Has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7The Lord has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary; He has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They have made a noise in the house of Yahweh, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
