13  ^aBecause of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited

but shall be an utter desolation;

^beveryone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled,

^band hiss because of all her wounds.

15  All who pass along the way

clap their hands at you;

^fthey hiss and wag their heads

at the daughter of Jerusalem:

“Is this the city that was called

^gthe perfection of beauty,

^gthe joy of all the earth?”
