Lamentations 2:5

The Lord (Adonai) has become like an enemy;
he has devoured Israel.
He has devoured all her palaces,
he has destroyed all her strongholds
and he has multiplied the sorrow
and lamentation among the daughters of Judah.
[The fifth Hebrew letter is: ה – He. The character depicts a person with outstretched hands. The meaning of the letter is to see, look, breathe, and to gain revealed insight into something great and important that has been pointed out. It often symbolizes seeing and having perspective. In this verse, it is the words "has become" that begin with this letter, illustrating that one can no longer see God as giving our lives the right perspective. Instead, one sees only everything that causes sorrow. Now even God is an enemy, further intensifying the sorrow.]
