Lamentations 2:14-16

Names of God Bible

¹⁴ Your prophets saw misleading visions about you.
    They painted a good picture of you.
    They didn’t expose your guilt in order to make things better again.
    They gave you false prophecies that misled you.
¹⁵ Everyone who walks along the road shakes a fist at you.
    They hiss and shake their heads at Jerusalem’s people:
        ‘Is this the city they used to call absolutely beautiful,
            the joy of the whole world?’
¹⁶ All your enemies gawk at you.
    They hiss and grit their teeth.
    They say, ‘We’ve swallowed it up.
        Yes, this is the day we’ve been waiting for.
            At last we have seen it!’
