Lamentations 2:13-17
13WhatH4100 shall I testify unto thee? whatH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? whatH4100 shall I equalH1819 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breach is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who canH4310 healH7495 thee?
14Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 visionsH7723 for thee of vanityH7723 and foolishness; and they have notH3808 discovered thine iniquityH5771, to bringH7725 againH7725 thy captivityH7622: but have seenH2372 for thee burdens of vanityH7723 and causes of banishment.
15AllH3605 that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at thee; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559: Is this the cityH5892 that menH7218 calledH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the wholeH3605 earthH776?
16AllH3605 thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 wideH6475 againstH5921 thee; they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127; they sayH559, WeH3117 have swallowedH1104 herH3605 upH7200; certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that weH3117 lookedH7200 for; weH3117 have foundH4672, weH3117 have seenH7200 it.
17The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that whichH834 he devised; he hath fulfilled his wordH565 that he commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of old; he hath thrownH2040 downH2040, and hath notH3808 pitied: and he hath causedH834 the enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath exaltedH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversaries.
