Lamentations 2:14-16

World English Bible

¹⁴ Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you.
    They have not uncovered your iniquity,
    to reverse your captivity,
    but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

¹⁵ All that pass by clap their hands at you.
    They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying,
“Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty,
    the joy of the whole earth’?”

¹⁶ All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you.
    They hiss and gnash their teeth.
    They say, “We have swallowed her up.
Certainly this is the day that we looked for.
    We have found it.
    We have seen it.”
