Lamentations 2:15-17
New International Version - UK
15 All who pass your way
clap their hands at you;
they scoff and shake their heads
at Daughter Jerusalem:
‘Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of the whole earth?’
16 All your enemies open their mouths
wide against you;
they scoff and gnash their teeth
and say, ‘We have swallowed her up.
This is the day we have waited for;
we have lived to see it.’
17 The Lord has done what he planned;
he has fulfilled his word,
which he decreed long ago.
He has overthrown you without pity,
he has let the enemy gloat over you,
he has exalted the horn[a] of your foes.
