16. All your enemieshave opened their mouth against you;they hiss and gnash their teeth.They say, “We have swallowed her up!Certainly this is the day that we longed for;we have found it; we have seen it.”
17. The Lord has done what He planned;He has fulfilled His wordthat He had commanded in the days of old.He has thrown down and has not pitied,and He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you;He has exalted the power of your adversaries.
18. Their heart cried to the Lord:O wall of the daughter of Zion,let your tears run downlike a river day and night;give yourself no rest,your eyes no respite!
