By-word

You shall become a horror, a proverb, and a taunt among all the people where the Lord drives you.

then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will cast out of My sight. So Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

Shaking

All who see me

sneer at me;

They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,

This is the word that the Lord has spoken against him:
‘She has despised you and mocked you,

The virgin daughter of Zion;

She has shaken her head behind you,
The daughter of Jerusalem!

“I too could speak like you,
If I were in your place.
I could compose words against you
And shake my head at you.

this is the word that the Lord has spoken against him:
“She has despised you and mocked you,
The virgin daughter of Zion;
She has shaken her head behind you,
The daughter of Jerusalem!

All who pass along the way

Clap their hands in derision at you;

They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘The perfection of beauty,

A joy to all the earth’?”
