סָֽפְק֨וּ עָלַ֤יִךְ כַּפַּ֙יִם֙ כָּל־עֹ֣בְרֵי דֶ֔רֶךְ שָֽׁרְקוּ֙ וַיָּנִ֣עוּ רֹאשָׁ֔ם עַל־בַּ֖ת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הֲזֹ֣את הָעִ֗יר שֶׁיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ כְּלִ֣ילַת יֹ֔פִי מָשׂ֖וֹשׂ לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (ס)
Semua orang yang lewat di jalan bertepuk tangan atasmu; mereka bersiul dan menggeleng-gelengkan kepala mereka atas putri Yerusalem: “Inikah kota yang disebut orang kesempurnaan keindahan, kegirangan bagi seluruh bumi?”

“Clapped” [2:15]. The people who passed by the city clapped their hands before the city and hissed with their mouths and they shook their heads that they saw the city of Jerusalem destroyed. They said: is this the city of Jerusalem that was the beautiful crown and the joy of the whole land?

Rashi
