Lamentations 2:16-18
Common English Bible
16 All your enemies open wide their mouths against you;
they whistle, grinding their teeth. They say, “We have devoured!
This is definitely the day we’ve been waiting for. We’ve seen it come to pass.”
17 The Lord did what he had planned. He accomplished the word
that he had commanded long ago. He ripped down, showing no compassion.
He made the enemy rejoice over you; he raised up your adversaries’ horn.
18 Cry out to my Lord from the heart,[a] you wall of Daughter Zion;
make your[b] tears run down like a flood all day and night.
Don’t relax at all; don’t rest your eyes a moment.
