Lamentations2:15
15 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 ?
This was according to Gods threatnings, 1 Kings 9.8. Ier. 18.16. and 19.18. God had poured out all his blessings upon this people, whatsoever might adorn them, or make them happy, so as all people blessed the Iewish Nation: but now the case was so altered, that all people scoffed at them, and hissed, and admired at the change which God had made.
