Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her
miseries
When carried captive, and in exile in a foreign land; when surrounded with distresses and calamities of various kinds; which are a means sometimes of rubbing up and refreshing the memories of persons with those good things they take little notice of in the times of prosperity; the worth of such things being best known and prized by the want of them: even all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old;
her civil and religious liberties; the word, worship, and ordinances of God; the temple, altars, and courts of the Lord; the ark of the testimony, the symbol of the divine Presence; and the revelation of the will of God by the prophets; their peace, prosperity, and enjoyment of all good things: these were remembered when her people fell into the hand of the enemy;
the Chaldeans. The Targum is,
``into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the wicked, and he oppressed them:''and none did help her;
``the enemies saw her when she went into captivity; and they mocked at the good things which ceased out of the midst of her.''
