Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

As a weaver I rolled up my life.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.

And the grub will eat them like wool.
But My righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”

He has destroyed His appointed meeting place.

The appointed feast and sabbath in Zion,
And He has despised king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.
