Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Jehovah hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger; And he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof." — Lamentations 4:11 (ASV)

And has kindled a fire ... —The phrase is partly literal (2 Chronicles 36:19), partly figurative, for the complete destruction of Jerusalem by the wrath of Jehovah.
