Eikhah Rabbah
They “opened their mouths wide against you.” Why does peh come before ayin?119The verses in chapter 2 of Lamentations form an alphabetical acrostic, except the verse that begins with peh (verse 16) comes before the verse that begins with ayin (verse 17), despite the fact that ayin precedes peh in the alphabet. Because they would say with their mouths what they had not seen with their eyes.120The word for mouth is peh, whereas the word for eye is ayin. The enemies rejoiced over their projected victory before it even happened.
