Kommentar zu Ejchah 2:4
דָּרַ֨ךְ קַשְׁתּ֜וֹ כְּאוֹיֵ֗ב נִצָּ֤ב יְמִינוֹ֙ כְּצָ֔ר וַֽיַּהֲרֹ֔ג כֹּ֖ל מַחֲמַדֵּי־עָ֑יִן בְּאֹ֙הֶל֙ בַּת־צִיּ֔וֹן שָׁפַ֥ךְ כָּאֵ֖שׁ חֲמָתֽוֹ׃ (ס)
Er hat seinen Bogen gebeugt wie ein Feind, mit seiner rechten Hand als Gegner gestanden und alles getötet, was dem Auge angenehm war; Im Zelt der Tochter Zion hat er seine Wut wie Feuer ausgegossen.

Rashi on Lamentations
He poured his fury like fire. The arrangement of the words is as follows: He poured His fury, which is like fire, for we do not find the “pouring” of fire except in conjunction with fury as it is written, “Pour Your fury upon the nations.”11Tehilim 79:6.
