Lam 2:15-16 | NIV | STEP | 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?’

Lamentations 2:15-16

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.’
