Wherefore the wrath of Jehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.
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 called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel;
The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being.
This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
There is no assuaging of thy hurt: thy wound is grievous: all that hear the report of thee clap their hands over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
