Lamentations 2:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ The LORD has done that which He had purposed. He has fulfilled His Word that He had determined from days of old. He has thrown down, and not spared. He has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, and set up the horn of your adversaries.

¹⁸ Their heart cried to the LORD, “O wall of the daughter Zion! Let tears run down like a river, day and night! Take no rest for yourself or let the apple of your eye cease!
