Lamentations 2:16-18
Modern English Version
16 All your enemies
have opened their mouth against you;
they hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have swallowed her up!
Certainly this is the day that we longed for;
we have found it; we have seen it.”
17 The Lord has done what He planned;
He has fulfilled His word
that He had commanded in the days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
and He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you;
He has exalted the power of your adversaries.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord:
O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let your tears run down
like a river day and night;
give yourself no rest,
your eyes no respite!
Lamentations 2:16-18
New International Version
16 All your enemies open their mouths
wide against you;(A)
they scoff and gnash their teeth(B)
and say, “We have swallowed her up.(C)
This is the day we have waited for;
we have lived to see it.”(D)
