Lamentations 2:16-17

16 ^aAll your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We ^bhave swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; ^cwe see it!”
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out ^dhis word,
which he commanded ^elong ago;
^fhe has thrown down ^gwithout pity;
^hhe has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the ⁱmight of your foes.

Lamentations 4:16-17

16 ^jThe Lord himself ^{▼▼Hebrew The face of the Lord} has scattered them;
he will regard them no more;
^lno honor was shown to the priests,
^mno favor to the elders.
17 ⁿOur eyes failed, ever watching
^ovainly for help;
in our watching we watched
for ^pa nation which could not save.
