Lamentations 2:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
Samekh
15 All who pass along the way
(A)Clap their hands in derision at you;
They (B)hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘(C)The perfection of beauty,
(D)The joy of the whole earth’?”
Pe
16 All (E)your enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They hiss and (F)gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have (G)swallowed her up!
Surely this is the (H)day for which we have hoped;
We have found it, we have seen it.”
Ayin
17 Yahweh has (I)done what He purposed;
He has completed His word
Which He commanded from days of old.
He has pulled down (J)without sparing,
And He has caused the enemy to (K)be glad over you;
He has (L)exalted the [a]might of your adversaries.
