the citadel became evil adversary of Israel, ,they shed innocent blood

 They took captive the women and children, and seized the livestock. ³³ Then they fortified the city of David with a great strong wall and strong towers, and it became their citadel. ³⁴ They stationed there a sinful people, men who were renegades. These strengthened their position; ³⁵ they stored up arms and food, and collecting the spoils of Jerusalem they stored them there, and became a great menace,

³⁶ for the citadel^[d] became an ambush against the sanctuary,
    an evil adversary of Israel at all times.
³⁷ On every side of the sanctuary they shed innocent blood;
    they even defiled the sanctuary.
³⁸ Because of them the residents of Jerusalem fled;
    she became a dwelling of strangers;
she became strange to her offspring,
    and her children forsook her.
³⁹ Her sanctuary became desolate like a desert;
    her feasts were turned into mourning,
her sabbaths into a reproach,
    her honor into contempt.
⁴⁰ Her dishonor now grew as great as her glory;
    her exaltation was turned into mourning.
