Lamentations 2:13-17
13What shall I testify unto thee? what shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389?What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726?For thy breach is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who can healH7495 thee?14Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 for thee false and foolish visions;And they have not uncoveredH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to bringH7725 backH7725 thy captivityH7622,But have seenH2372 for thee false oracles and causes of banishment.15All that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at thee;They hissH8319 and wag their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559,Is this the cityH5892 that men called The perfection of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776?16All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 wide against thee;They hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127; they sayH559, We have swallowedH1104 her up;Certainly this is the dayH3117 that we lookedH7200 for; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.17Jehovah hath done that which he purposed; he hath fulfilled his wordH565 that he commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of old;He hath thrown downH2040, and hath not pitied:And he hath caused the enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee; he hath exaltedH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversaries.
