Lamentations 2:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Your prophets had a vision for you,
    false and worthless;
they have not exposed your sin,
    to restore your fortune;
they have seen oracles for you,
    false and misleading.
¹⁵ They clap hands over you,
    all who pass along the way;
they hiss and they shake their head,
    at the daughter of Jerusalem.
Is this the city of which it is said,
    “A perfection of beauty, a joy for all the earth?”
¹⁶ They have opened their mouths against you,
    all your enemies.
They hiss and gnash a tooth,
    and they say, “We have destroyed her!
Surely this is the day we have hoped for;
    we have found it, we have seen it!”
