Lamentations 2:17 in Context — Lamentations 2
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.
18 El corazón de ellos clamaba al Señor: Oh muro de la hija de Sión, echa lágrimas como un arroyo día y noche; no descanses, ni cesen las niñas de tus ojos.
19 Levántate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas; derrama como agua tu corazón ante la presencia del Señor; alza tus manos á él por la vida de tus pequeñitos, que desfallecen de hambre en las entradas de todas las calles.
