Lamentations2:16

16 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 .

As strangers that had had no quarrels with, nor prejudices against the Iews, passing by their Country, and their great City Ierusalem, despised and scorned it, so their Enemies with whom they had former quarrels, and who had taken up prejudices against them, they reproached and abused them, and triumphed in their ruine, and in the success of their Arms against them, and blessed themselves as having now seen the day they had looked and wished for.
