15 All who [a]pass by (A)clap their hands at you;
They hiss (B)and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that is called
(C)‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?”
16 (D)All your enemies have opened their mouth against you;
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, (E)“We have swallowed her up!
Surely this is the (F)day we have waited for;
We have found it, (G)we have seen it!”
17 The Lord has done what He (H)purposed;
He has fulfilled His word
Which He commanded in days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
And He has caused an enemy to (I)rejoice over you;
He has exalted the [b]horn of your adversaries.
