Lamentations 2:14-16

New International Version - UK

¹⁴ The visions of your prophets
    were false and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
    to ward off your captivity.
The prophecies they gave you
    were false and misleading.

¹⁵ All who pass your way
    clap their hands at you;
they scoff and shake their heads
    at Daughter Jerusalem:
‘Is this the city that was called
    the perfection of beauty,
    the joy of the whole earth?’

¹⁶ All your enemies open their mouths
    wide against you;
they scoff and gnash their teeth
    and say, ‘We have swallowed her up.
This is the day we have waited for;
    we have lived to see it.’
