Lamentations 2:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ All who pass your way
    clap their hands at you.
They hiss and shake their heads
    at the daughter of Jerusalem.
“Is this the city of which they said,
    ‘The perfection of beauty,’
    ‘the joy of the whole earth’?”
¹⁶ All your enemies
    opened their mouth wide against you;
    they hissed and gnashed their teeth,
    and say, “We have swallowed her up!
Surely this is the day we have waited for;
    we have lived to see it!”
¹⁷ Adonai has done what He planned;
He has fulfilled His word
    that He commanded from days of old.
He has overthrown you without pity,
He enabled the enemy to gloat over you.
He has exalted the horn of your foes.
