Daleth
“He has bent
His bow
Like an enemy.
His right hand
Is set
Like a foe.
He has killed all
In whom we took pride
In the tent
Of daughter Zion.
He has poured out
His fury
Like fire.”
Yahweh has become like an enemy of Israel. He bent his bow like an enemy archer about to release an arrow. His right hand was like an enemy warrior. He has killed all the important prideful people of Zion. He has poured out his fury like a raging fire. Yahweh was really mad. This verse starts with the Hebrew consonant letter Daleth. Each verse after this will use the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet in this acrostic poem.
