Lamentations 2:15-17

15All who pass along the way 1Clap their hands in ridicule at you; They 2 3hiss and shake their heads At the daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city of which they said, ‘4Perfect in beauty, 5A joy to all the earth’?”16All 6your enemies Have opened their mouths wide against you; They 7hiss and 8gnash their teeth. They say, “We have 9engulfed her! This certainly is the 10day which we awaited; We have reached it, we have seen it!”17The Lord has 11done what He determined; He has accomplished His word Which He commanded from days of old. He has torn down 12without sparing, And He has helped the enemy to 13rejoice over you; He has 14exalted the 15might of your adversaries.
