Lamentations 2:16-18

World English Bible

¹⁶ All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you.
    They hiss and gnash their teeth.
    They say, “We have swallowed her up.
Certainly this is the day that we looked for.
    We have found it.
    We have seen it.”

¹⁷ Yahweh has done that which he planned.
    He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old.
He has thrown down,
    and has not pitied.
He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you.
    He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.

¹⁸ Their heart cried to the Lord.
    O wall of the daughter of Zion,
    let tears run down like a river day and night.
Give yourself no relief.
    Don’t let your eyes rest.
