All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? Clap their hands - in derision (Job 27:23; 24:37).
Wag ... head - (2 Kings 19:21; Psalms 44:14, "Thou makest us a shaking of the head among the people"). Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? - (Psalms 48:2, "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion;" 50:2, "Zion, the perfection of beauty"). The Jews' enemies quote their very words in score.
