Lamentations 2:15 in Context — Lamentations 2
13 ¿Qué testigo te traeré, ó á quién te haré semejante, hija de Jerusalem? ¿A quién te compararé para consolarte, oh virgen hija de Sión? Porque grande es tu quebrantamiento como la mar: ¿quién te medicinará?
14 Tus profetas vieron para ti vanidad y locura; y no descubrieron tu pecado para estorbar tu cautiverio, sino que te predicaron vanas profecías y extravíos.
15 Todos los que pasaban por el camino, batieron las manos sobre ti; silbaron, y movieron sus cabezas sobre la hija de Jerusalem, [diciendo]: ¿Es ésta la ciudad que decían de perfecta hermosura, el gozo de toda la tierra?
16 Todos tus enemigos abrieron sobre ti su boca, silbaron, y rechinaron los dientes; dijeron: Devoremos: cierto éste es el día que esperábamos; lo hemos hallado, vímoslo.
17 Jehová ha hecho lo que tenía determinado, ha cumplido su palabra que él había mandado desde tiempo antiguo: destruyó, y no perdonó; y alegró sobre ti al enemigo, y enalteció el cuerno de tus adversarios.
