Lamentations 2:6 meaning and explanation
He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden booth; He has destroyed His place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and Sabbaths. In His fierce anger He has despised both king and priest.
Lamentations 2:6, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The speaker is the grieving poet of Jerusalem, describing what the Babylonians did to the city in 586 BC as God's own action. The tabernacle or booth here is a temporary shelter like the leafy huts built for the Feast of Tabernacles, so God's dwelling place has become as flimsy as a garden shelter.
