Psalms 137:3-4

3 For there our captors
required of us songs,
and our tormentors, mirth, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 ^cHow shall we sing the Lord’s song
in a foreign land?

Lamentations 2:15-16

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

Micah 4:11

11 Now ^jmany nations
are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be defiled,
and ^klet our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
