By-word

You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.

I will cut off Israel from the land I gave them, and I will reject the temple I have sanctified for My name. Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

then I will uproot Israel from the soil that I gave them, and this temple that I have sanctified for My name I will banish from My presence; I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

I will make them an object of horror and disaster to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace, an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing, wherever I have banished them.

Shaking

Everyone who sees me mocks me;
they sneer and shake their heads:

This is the word the Lord has spoken against him:

Virgin Daughter Zion
despises you and scorns you:
Daughter Jerusalem
shakes her head behind your back.

If you were in my place I could also talk like you.
I could string words together against you
and shake my head at you.

this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:

Virgin Daughter Zion
despises you and scorns you:
Daughter Jerusalem shakes her head
behind your back.

ס SamekAll who pass by
scornfully clap their hands at you.
They mock

and shake their heads

at Daughter Jerusalem:
Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of the whole earth?
