Lamentations:2:15-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
All that pass by clap their hands at thee ;
they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem ,
saying ,
Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty ,
The joy of the whole earth ?
*
All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee :
they hiss and gnash the teeth :
they say ,
We have swallowed her up :
certainly this is the day that we looked for ;
we have found ,
we have seen it .
*
The LORD hath done that which he had devised ;
he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old :
he hath thrown down ,
and hath not pitied :
and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee ,
he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries .
*
Their heart cried unto the Lord ,
O wall of the daughter of Zion ,
let tears run down like a river day and night :
give thyself no rest ;
let not the apple of thine eye cease .
*
Arise ,
cry out in the night :
in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord :
lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children ,
that faint for hunger in the top of every street .
