All who pass your way clap their hands at you
Numbers 24:10-11 Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, "I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times. Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the LORD has kept you from being rewarded."
Ezekiel 25:6-7 " 'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you (the Ammonites) have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel, therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you and you will know that I am the LORD.' "
they scoff
Deuteronomy 28:37 You (Israel) will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the LORD will drive you.

Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty
Psalm 45:11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for his is your lord.

*In most English translations
of the Old Testament, the divine name YHWH (Yahweh) is rendered
"LORD" in capital letters to distinguish it from another Hebrew word,
Adonai, which is rendered "Lord" in small letters. Whenever the two
names stand together they are rendered "Sovereign LORD".
