Lamentazioni 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:7

The Lord hath cast off his altar
Whether of incense, or of burnt offerings; the sacrifices of which used to be acceptable to him; but now the altar being cast down and demolished, there were no more offerings; nor did he show any desire of them, but the reverse: he hath abhorred his sanctuary;
the temple; by suffering it to be profaned, pulled down, and burnt, it looked as if he had an abhorrence of it, and the service in it; as he had, as it was performed without faith in Christ, love to him, or any view to his glory; see ( Isaiah 1:13 Isaiah 1:14 ) ; he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces;
both the walls of the sanctuary, and the walls of the houses of the kin, and princes; especially thee former are meant, both by what goes before and follows: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a
solemn feast;
that is the enemy, the Chaldeans, made a noise in the temple, blaspheming God, that had dwelt in it; insulting over the people of God, that had worshipped there; rejoicing in their victories over them; singing their "paeans" to their gods, and other profane songs; indulging themselves in revelling and rioting; making as great a noise with their shouts and songs as the priests, Levites, and people of Israel did, when they sung the songs of Zion on a festival day. The Targum is,

``as the voice of the people of the house of Israel, that prayed in the midst of it in the day of the passover.''

Lamentazioni 2:7 In-Context

5 Il Signore è stato come un nemico; Egli ha distrutto Israele; Egli ha distrutti tutti i suoi palazzi, ha guaste le sue fortezze, Ed ha moltiplicato, nella figliuola di Giuda, tristizia e duolo.
6 Ed ha tolto via con violenza il suo tabernacolo, come la capanna di un orto; Egli ha guasto il luogo della sua raunanza; Il Signore ha fatto dimenticare in Sion festa solenne, e sabato; Ed ha rigettato, nell’indegnazione della sua ira, re e sacerdote.
7 Il Signore ha gettato via il suo altare, ha distrutto il suo santuario, Ha messe in man de’ nemici le mura de’ palazzi di Gerusalemme; Essi hanno messe grida nella Casa del Signore, Come si soleva fare a’ dì delle solennità.
8 Il Signore ha pensato di guastar le mura della figliula di Sion, Egli ha steso il regolo, e non ha rimossa la sua mano da dissipare; Ed ha distrutti ripari, e mura; Tutte quante languiscono.
9 Le porte di essa sono affondate in terra; Egli ha disfatte, e spezzate le sue sbarre; Il suo re ed i suoi principi sono fra le genti; la Legge non è più, I profeti di essa eziandio non hanno trovata alcuna visione Da parte del Signore.
