Lamentações de Jeremias 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 1:5

Her adversaries are the chief
Or, "for the head" F14; or are the head, as was threatened, ( Deuteronomy 28:44 ) ; and now fulfilled; the Chaldeans having got the dominion over the Jews, and obliged them to be subject to them: her enemies prosper;
in wealth and riches, in grandeur and glory; live in ease and tranquillity, enjoying all outward felicity and happiness; while Zion was in distress; which was an aggravation of it; and yet this was but righteous judgment: for the Lord hath afflicted her;
who is righteous in all his ways: the Chaldeans were but instruments; the evil was from the Lord, according to his will and righteous determination, as appears by what follows: for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into
captivity before the enemy;
that is, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judea were carried captive by the enemy, and drove before them as a flock of sheep, and that for the sins of the nation; and these not a few, but were very numerous, as Mordecai and Ezekiel, and others, who were carried captive young with Jeconiah, as well as many now.

Lamentações de Jeremias 1:5 In-Context

3 Judá foi para o cativeiro para sofrer aflição e dura servidão; ela habita entre as nações, não acha descanso; todos os seus perseguidores a alcançaram nas suas angústias.
4 Os caminhos de Sião pranteiam, porque não há quem venha � assembléia solene; todas as suas portas estão desoladas; os seus sacerdotes suspiram; as suas virgens estão tristes, e ela mesma sofre amargamente.
5 Os seus adversários a dominam, os seus inimigos prosperam; porque o Senhor a afligiu por causa da multidão das suas transgressões; os seus filhinhos marcharam para o cativeiro adiante do adversário.
6 E da filha de Sião já se foi todo o seu esplendor; os seus príncipes ficaram sendo como cervos que não acham pasto e caminham sem força adiante do perseguidor.
7 Lembra-se Jerusalém, nos dias da sua aflição e dos seus exílios, de todas as suas preciosas coisas, que tivera desde os tempos antigos; quando caía o seu povo na mão do adversário, e não havia quem a socorresse, os adversários a viram, e zombaram da sua ruína.
