Lam 2:15-16, Zep 2:15 | ESV | STEP | All who pass along the way clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem : Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty , the joy of all the earth ?

Lamentations 2:15-16

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

Zephaniah 2:15

15 This is the exultant city
^gthat lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
^ha lair for wild beasts!
ⁱEveryone who passes by her
hisses and ^jshakes his fist.
