Lamentations 3:66
"Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Persecute and destroy them in anger,.... As they have persecuted the people of God, do thou persecute them; and never leave pursuing them untie thou hast made a full end

of them, as the effect of vindictive wrath and vengeance: from under the heavens of the Lord; which are made by him, and in which he dwells; let them not have the benefit of them, nor so much as the sight of them; but let them perish from under them, Jer 10:11 .
