clap their hands at you;

at the daughter of Jerusalem:

(B)the perfection of beauty,
(C)the joy of all the earth?”
16 (D)All your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We (E)have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; (F)we see it!”
Isaiah 34:9-15
English Standard Version
9 (A)And the streams of Edom[a] shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day (B)it shall not be quenched;
(C)its smoke shall go up forever.
(D)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (E)But the hawk and the porcupine[b] shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
(F)He shall stretch the line of (G)confusion[c] over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 (H)Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of (I)jackals,
an abode for ostriches.[d]
14 (J)And wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird[e] settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there (K)the hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
