Lamentations 3:62
60 You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
61 O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
63 When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
64 You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
