THE LORD HATH DONE THAT WHICH HE HAD DEVISED

^{LAMENTATIONS 2:16-17}

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 CAUSE OF BANISHMENT.
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?
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.
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.
