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!”
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.
“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.
At the beginning of the watches;
bPour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord.
Lift your hands toward Him
For the life of your young children,
Who faint from hunger cat the head of every street.”
To whom have You done this?
aShould the women eat their offspring,
The children1 they have cuddled?
Should the priest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
On the ground in the streets;
My virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the bsword;
You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered and not pitied.
