¡Cómo nubló, en su ira el Señor a la hija de Sion! Ha arrojado del cielo a la tierra la gloria de Israel, y no se ha acordado del estrado de sus pies en el día de su ira.
�C�mo oscureci� el Se�or, en su furor, a la hija de Si�n! Derrib� del cielo a la tierra la hermosura de Israel, y no se acord� del estrado de sus pies en el d�a de su ira.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger,.... Not their persons for protection, as he did the Israelites at the Red sea, and in the wilderness; nor their sins, which he blots out as a thick cloud; or with such an one as he filled the tabernacle and temple with when dedicated; for this was "in his anger", in the day of his anger, against Jerusalem; but with the thick and black clouds of calamity and distress; he "beclouded" r her, as it may be rendered, and is by Broughton; he drew a veil, or caused a cloud to come over all her brightness and glory, and surrounded her with darkness, that her light and splendour might not be seen. Aben Ezra interprets it, "he lifted her up to the clouds": that is, in order to cast her down with the greater force, as follows:
[and] cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel; all its glory, both in church and state; this was brought down from the highest pitch of its excellency and dignity, to the lowest degree of infamy and reproach; particularly this was true of the temple, and service of God in it, which was the beauty and glory of the nation, but now utterly demolished:
and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger; to spare and preserve that; meaning either the house of the sanctuary, the temple itself, as the Targum and Jarchi; or rather the ark with the mercy seat, on which the Shechinah or divine Majesty set his feet, when sitting between the cherubim; and is so called, 1 Chronicles 28:2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
How ... - Or, “How” doth “אדני 'ădonāy cover.” He hath east down etc. By God’s footstool seems to be meant the ark. See Psalms 99:5 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER II
The prophet shows the dire effects of the Divine anger in the
miseries brought on his country; the unparalleled calamities of
which he charges, on a great measure, on the false prophets,
1-14.
In thus desperate condition, the astonishment and by-word of
all who see her, Jerusalem is directed to sue earnestly for
mercy and pardon, 15-22.
NOTES ON CHAP. II
Verse Lamentations 2:1. How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud — The women in the eastern countries wear veils, and often very costly ones. Here, Zion is represented as being veiled by the hand of God's judgment. And what is the veil? A dark cloud, by which she is entirely obscured.
Instead of אדני Adonai, lord, twenty-four of Dr. Kennicott's MSS., and some of the most ancient of my own, read Yehovah, LORD, as in Lamentations 2:2.
The beauty of Israel — His Temple.
His footstool — The ark of the covenant, often so called. The rendering of my old MS. Bible is curious: - And record not of his litil steging-stole of his feet, in the dai of his woodnesse. To be wood signifies, in our ancient language, to be mad.
