¹⁵All who pass along the way

^aClap their hands in derision at you;

They ^bhiss and shake their heads

At the daughter of Jerusalem,

“Is this the city of which they said,

‘^cThe perfection of beauty,

^dThe joy of the whole earth’?”

Pe

¹⁶All ^ayour enemies

Have opened their mouths wide against you;

They say, “We have ^cswallowed her up!

Surely this is the ^dday for which we have hoped;

We have found it, we have seen it.”

clap their hands at you;

the perfection of beauty,

the joy of all the earth?”

All your enemies

rail against you;

Ah, this is the day we longed for;

now we have it; we see it!”

This is the day we have waited for;

we have lived to see it.”

“A perfection of beauty, a joy for all the earth?”

Surely this is the day we have hoped for;

we have found it, we have seen it!”

All that pass by clap their hands at thee;

They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying,

Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

They hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up:

Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
