Lamentations 2:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ס Samek
15 All who pass by
scornfully clap their hands(A) at you.
They mock[a](B) and shake their heads(C)
at Daughter Jerusalem:
Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,(D)
the joy of the whole earth?(E)
פ Pe
16 All your enemies
open their mouths against you.(F)
They hiss and gnash their teeth,(G)
saying, “We have swallowed her up.(H)
This is the day we have waited for!
We have lived to see it.”
ע Ayin
17 The Lord has done what He planned;
He has accomplished His decree,
which He ordained in days of old.
He has demolished without compassion,(I)
letting the enemy gloat over you
and exalting the horn of your adversaries.

Lamentations 2:15-17
King James Version
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
