Lamentaciones 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.''

Lamentaciones 2:7 In-Context

5 Así es, el Señor venció a Israel
como lo hace un enemigo.
Destruyó sus palacios
y demolió sus fortalezas.
Causó dolor y llanto interminable
sobre la bella Jerusalén.
6 Derribó su templo
como si fuera apenas una choza en el jardín.
El Señor
ha borrado todo recuerdo
de los festivales sagrados y los días de descanso.
Ante su ira feroz
reyes y sacerdotes caen juntos.
7 El Señor rechazó su propio altar;
desprecia su propio santuario.
Entregó los palacios de Jerusalén
a sus enemigos.
Ellos gritan en el templo del Señor
como si fuera un día de celebración.
8 El Señor
decidió
destruir las murallas de la bella Jerusalén.
Hizo cuidadosos planes para su destrucción,
después los llevó a cabo.
Por eso, los terraplenes y las murallas
cayeron ante él.
9 Las puertas de Jerusalén se han hundido en la tierra;
él rompió sus cerrojos y sus barrotes.
Sus reyes y príncipes fueron desterrados a tierras lejanas;
su ley dejó de existir.
Sus profetas no reciben
más visiones de parte del Señor
