“She has shown contempt for you and derided you,
The ^(A)virgin ^(B)daughter of Zion;
The daughter of Jerusalem has ^(C)shaken her head behind you!

¹⁶ To make their land a ^(A)desolation,
An object of perpetual ^(B)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And ^(C)shake his head.

¹⁵ This is the ^(A)presumptuous city
That ^(B)dwells securely,
Who says in her heart,
“^(C)I am, and there is no one besides me.”
How she has become a ^(D)desolation,
A resting place for animals!
^(E)Everyone who passes by her will ^[a]hiss
And wave his hand in contempt.
