Lam. 2:15 in context

Lam. 2:14      Lam. 2:16

Lamentations 2:15

All who walk in your ways
clap their hands at you [approve of Jerusalem's destruction, see Ezek. 25:6].
They whistle and shake their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem.
Is this the city of which it is said,
that it is the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth [Ps. 48:2]?
[The fifteenth Hebrew letter is: ס – Samech. The character depicts a pillar and symbolizes support and stability. In this verse, it is the word "clap their hands" that begins with this letter. Here, however, the opposite is emphasized, as this applause is meant to dishonor rather than support.]
