Lamentations 2:14-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
14
Your prophets have seen for you
Worthless and deceptive
visions;
And they have not exposed your wrongdoing
So as to restore you from captivity,
But they have seen for you worthless and misleading pronouncements.
15
All who pass along the way
Clap their hands
in ridicule
at you;
They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
'Is this the city of which they said,
‘Perfect in beauty,
A joy to all the earth’?'
16
All your enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They hiss and gnash
their
teeth.
They say, 'We have engulfed
her!
This certainly is the day which we awaited;
We have reached
it,
we have seen
it!
'
17
The
Lord
has done what He determined;
He has accomplished His word
Which He commanded from days of old.
He has torn down without sparing,
And He has helped the enemy to rejoice over you;
He has exalted the might of your adversaries.
King James Version
Chapter 2
14
Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15
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?
16
All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: 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.
17
The
Lord
hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
14
Your prophets saw visions for you
that were empty and deceptive;
they did not reveal your iniquity
and so restore your fortunes.
They saw pronouncements for you
that were empty and misleading.
15
All who pass by
scornfully clap their hands at you.
They hiss and shake their heads
at Daughter Jerusalem:
Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of the whole earth?
16
All your enemies
open their mouths against you.
They hiss and gnash their teeth,
saying, "We have swallowed her up.
This is the day we have waited for!
We have lived to see it."
17
The
Lord
has done what he planned;
he has accomplished his decree,
which he ordained in days of old.
He has demolished without compassion,
letting the enemy gloat over you
and exalting the horn of your adversaries.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
14
Your prophets have said
so many foolish things, false to the core.
They did not save you from exile
by pointing out your sins.
Instead, they painted false pictures,
filling you with false hope.
15
All who pass by jeer at you.
They scoff and insult beautiful Jerusalem, saying,
'Is this the city called ‘Most Beautiful in All the World’
and ‘Joy of All the Earth’?'
16
All your enemies mock you.
They scoff and snarl and say,
'We have destroyed her at last!
We have long waited for this day,
and it is finally here!'
17
But it is the
Lord
who did just as he planned.
He has fulfilled the promises of disaster
he made long ago.
He has destroyed Jerusalem without mercy.
He has caused her enemies to gloat over her
and has given them power over her.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
14
Your prophets have seen for you
false and deceptive visions;
they have not exposed your iniquity
to restore your fortunes,
but have seen for you oracles
that are false and misleading.
15
All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
they hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
"Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of all the earth?"
16
All your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: "We have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; we see it!"
17
The
Lord
has done what he purposed;
he has carried out his word,
which he commanded long ago;
he has thrown down without pity;
he has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the might of your foes.
New International Version
Chapter 2
14
The visions of your prophets
were false and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
to ward off your captivity.
The prophecies they gave you
were false and misleading.
15
All who pass your way
clap their hands at you;
they scoff and shake their heads
at Daughter Jerusalem:
"Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of the whole earth?"
16
All your enemies open their mouths
wide against you;
they scoff and gnash their teeth
and say, "We have swallowed her up.
This is the day we have waited for;
we have lived to see it."
17
The
Lord
has done what he planned;
he has fulfilled his word,
which he decreed long ago.
He has overthrown you without pity,
he has let the enemy gloat over you,
he has exalted the horn of your foes.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
14
Your prophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions;
They have not uncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions.
15
All who pass by clap
their
hands at you;
They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“
Is
this the city that is called
‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?”
16
All your enemies have opened their mouth against you;
They hiss and gnash
their
teeth.
They say, “We have swallowed
her
up!
Surely this
is
the day we have waited for;
We have found
it,
we have seen
it!
”
17
The
Lord
has done what He purposed;
He has fulfilled His word
Which He commanded in days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
And He has caused an enemy to rejoice over you;
He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
