Vav
“Yahweh
Has broken down
His booth
Like a garden.
He has destroyed
His tabernacle.
Yahweh has abolished
Festivals
Along with the Sabbath
In Zion.
His fierce indignation
Has spurned Kings
As well as priests.”
Yahweh has destroyed his own booth or tabernacle. Yahweh has abolished all Sabbath and festival worship services, mainly because there was no more Temple. In his fierce indignation, Yahweh has turned against his kings and priests. After all, a lot of people have died or gone into Babylonian captivity or, like Jeremiah, gone to Egypt or other places. This verse starts with the Hebrew consonant letter Vav. Each verse after this will use the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet in this acrostic poem.
