Lamentations 2:15

Compare all

13 How shall I ^aconsole you?
To what shall I liken you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare with you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is spread wide as the sea;
Who can heal you?

14 Your ^aprophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions;
They have not ^buncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false ^cprophecies and delusions.

15 All who¹ pass by ^aclap their hands at you;
They hiss ^band shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that is called
^c‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?”

16 ^aAll your enemies have opened their mouth against you;
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, ^b“We have swallowed her up!
Surely this is the ^cday we have waited for;
We have found it, ^dwe have seen it!”

17 The Lord has done what He ^apurposed;
He has fulfilled His word
Which He commanded in days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
And He has caused an enemy to ^brejoice over you;
He has exalted the¹ horn of your adversaries.

18 Their heart cried out to the Lord,
“O wall of the daughter of Zion,
^aLet tears run down like a river day and night;
Give¹ yourself no relief;
Give your eyes no rest.
