Lamentations 2:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
Samekh
15 All who pass along the way
(A)Clap their hands in derision at you;
They (B)hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘(C)The perfection of beauty,
(D)The joy of the whole earth’?”
Pe
16 All (E)your enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They hiss and (F)gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have (G)swallowed her up!
Surely this is the (H)day for which we have hoped;
We have found it, we have seen it.”
Ayin
17 Yahweh has (I)done what He purposed;
He has completed His word
Which He commanded from days of old.
He has pulled down (J)without sparing,
And He has caused the enemy to (K)be glad over you;
He has (L)exalted the [a]might of your adversaries.

Legacy Standard Bible
8 (A)Do not be glad over me, O (B)my enemy.
Though I fall I will (C)rise;
Though I inhabit the darkness, Yahweh is a (D)light for me.
9 I will bear the rage of Yahweh
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He (E)pleads my case and does justice for me.
He will bring me out to the (F)light,
And I will see His [a](G)righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who (H)said to me,
“Where is Yahweh your God?”
My eyes will look on her;
[b]At that time she will [c]be (I)trampled down
Like mire of the streets.
