Lamentations 2:15-16

15 All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
^bthey hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
^cthe perfection of beauty,
^dthe joy of all the earth?”
16 ^eAll your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We ^fhave swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; ^gwe see it!”
