4  I also could speak as you do,

if you were in my place;

I could join words together against you

and ^hshake my head at you.

“‘She despises you, she scorns you—

^xthe virgin daughter of Zion;

she wags her head behind you—

the daughter of Jerusalem.

16  making their land ^ja horror,

a thing ^jto be hissed at forever.

^kEveryone who passes by it is horrified

^land shakes his head.

15  All who pass along the way

clap their hands at you;

^fthey hiss and wag their heads

at the daughter of Jerusalem:

“Is this the city that was called

^gthe perfection of beauty,

^gthe joy of all the earth?”
