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.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 2 of Lamentations. The question of what can be compared with Jerusalem shows that the destruction seems to exceed every known reference. False prophets contributed to the disaster by offering deceptive visions and failing to expose guilt. Enemies, meanwhile, turn the city’s downfall into an occasion for mockery.

Alle deine Feinde sperren ihr Maul auf wider dich, pfeifen dich an, blecken die Zähne und sprechen: He! wir haben sie vertilgt; das ist der Tag, den wir begehrt haben; wir haben's erlangt, wir haben's erlebt.
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.
Tous tes ennemis ouvrent la bouche contre toi, Ils sifflent, ils grincent des dents, Ils disent: Nous l'avons engloutie! C'est bien le jour que nous attendions, nous l'avons atteint, nous le voyons!
Tutti i tuoi nemici hanno aperta la lor bocca contro a te; Hanno zufolato, e digrignati i denti; Hanno detto; Noi l’abbiamo inghiottita; Questo è pur quel giorno che noi aspettavamo, Noi l’abbiam trovato, noi l’abbiam veduto.
Todos os teus inimigos abrem as suas bocas contra ti, assobiam, e rangem os dentes; dizem: Devoramo-la; certamente este é o dia que esperávamos; achamo-lo, vimo-lo.
你所有的仇敵 張口來攻擊你; 他們嗤笑,切齒,說: 「我們把她吞滅了, 這是我們所盼望的日子! 我們終於等到了,親眼看見了!」
