Lamentations 2:16-18
English Standard Version Anglicised
16 (A)All your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We (B)have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; (C)we see it!”
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out (D)his word,
which he commanded (E)long ago;
(F)he has thrown down (G)without pity;
(H)he has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the (I)might of your foes.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord.
O (J)wall of the daughter of Zion,
(K)let tears stream down like a torrent
(L)day and night!
(M)Give yourself no rest,
(N)your eyes no respite!
Lamentations 2:16-18

wide against you;(A)
