Lamentations 2:15-16

English Standard Version

¹⁵All who pass along the way
    clap their hands at you;
^(A)they hiss and wag their heads
    at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
    ^(B)the perfection of beauty,
    ^(C)the joy of all the earth?”

¹⁶^(D)All your enemies
    rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
    they cry: “We ^(E)have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
    now we have it; ^(F)we see it!”
