Lamentations 2:16
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.
KJV
Aperuerunt super te os suum omnes inimici tui : sibilaverunt, et fremuerunt dentibus, et dixerunt : Devorabimus : en ista est dies quam exspectabamus ; invenimus, vidimus.
Vulgate
Ἄιν. Διήνοιξαν ἐπὶ σὲ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου, ἐσύρισαν καὶ ἔβρυξαν ὀδόντας, καὶ εἶπαν Κατεπίομεν αὐτήν· πλὴν αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἣν προσεδοκῶμεν, εὕρομεν αὐτήν, ἴδομεν.
LXX
All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide 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.
