1 God was mad. He made the city dark like a cloud. He brought the city down. ⛅️️️⬇️ 2 God knocked down homes and walls. He broke the land. He did not honor the king or leaders. ️ 3 God stopped their power. He did not help them fight. He was like fire all around. ⚔️ 4 God was like a soldier with a bow. He shot arrows like an enemy. Nice things were gone. His anger was like fire. ️ 5 God felt like an enemy. He broke big houses and strong walls. The people cried a lot. ️ 6 God took away His tent and His house. No more big rest days or big party days. He did not honor the king or God helpers. ⛺️⛪️❌ 7 God left His altar and His house. He let enemies take the city walls. Enemies shouted in God’s house like a party. ️⚔️ 8 God planned to break the city wall. He did it. The wall fell and was like it cried. 9 The gates fell down. The locks broke. The king and leaders went to far lands. God’s rules were not used. God men had no words from God. ⬇️ 10 Old men sat on the ground and were quiet. They put dust on their heads. They wore rough cloth. Young girls bowed down and cried. ♂️ 11 I cried so much my eyes hurt. My belly hurt. I was sad because the city broke. Kids and babies fell in the streets. ️ 12 Kids said, “Mom, where is food and drink?” They fell like hurt ones in the street. They fell into Mom’s arms. 13 No one is like you, city. Your hurt is big like the sea. Who can make you well? ❓ 14 Your teachers said wrong things. They did not tell you your bad ways. So you did not turn back. They told lies. ❌️ 15 People who walked by clapped and made fun. They shook their heads. They said, “Is this the pretty, happy city?” ♂️️ 16 Enemies laughed and yelled. They showed their teeth. They said, “We win! Today is our day!” 17 God did what He said long ago. He knocked things down and did not stop. He let enemies cheer. He made them strong. ✅⬇️ 18 The people cried to God. “Wall, cry like a river, day and night. Do not stop.” 19 Get up. Cry at night. Tell God all your heart like water. Lift your hands to Him. Pray for the hungry kids. ️ 20 God, look. See who is hurt. Moms have no food for kids. God’s house was not safe. God helpers died there. ⛪️⚰️ 21 Young and old lay in the street. Girls and boys fell by the sword. God let this in His anger. Many died. ️⚔️ 22 It was like a big day, but it was fear. No one got away. The enemy took even the kids we raised.
