4:11 Many nations have now assembled against you.
They say, “Jerusalem must be desecrated, 1
so we can gloat over Zion!” 2
7:10 When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.
They say 3 to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
I will gloat over them. 4
Then they will be trampled down 5
like mud in the streets.
