Lamentations 2:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
נ Nun
14 Your prophets saw visions for you
that were empty and deceptive;[a](A)
they did not reveal your iniquity
and so restore your fortunes.(B)
They saw pronouncements for you
that were empty and misleading.
ס Samek
15 All who pass by
scornfully clap their hands(C) at you.
They hiss(D) and shake their heads(E)
at Daughter Jerusalem:
Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,(F)
the joy of the whole earth?(G)
פ Pe
16 All your enemies
open their mouths against you.(H)
They hiss and gnash their teeth,(I)
saying, “We have swallowed her up.(J)
This is the day we have waited for!
We have lived to see it.”
