The Lord has purposed to destroy The wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out a line; He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying; Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament; They languished together.Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations; The Law is no more, And her prophets find no vision from the Lord.

Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.

Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments.Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers;Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following.For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death.
