Lamentations 2:5

5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

Thomas Aquinason Lamentations 2:5AD 1274
Here is bewailed the destruction of edifices relating to defense. About this idea three further aspects are expressed. First is touched upon the indignation of the Lord God. As asserted: "The Lord has become like an enemy." And Isaiah 63:10: "therefore he turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them." Also, Psalm 44:25: "For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the ground."
