Lamentaciones 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:8

The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of
Zion
Either the wall of the city, as Aben Ezra; or the wall that encompassed the temple, and all the outward courts of it, as Dr. Lightfoot F19 thinks; this the Lord had determined to destroy, and according to his purposes did destroy it, or suffer it to be demolished; and so all were laid open for the enemy to enter: he hath stretched out a line;
a line of destruction, to mark out how far the destruction should go, and bow much should be laid in ruins; all being as exactly done, according to the purpose and counsel of God, as if it was done by line and rule; see ( Isaiah 34:11 ) ; he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying;
till he made a full end of the city and temple, as he first designed: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament:
the "chel" and the wall; all that space between the courts of the temple and the wall that surrounded it was called the "chel"; and so the Targum, the circumference or enclosure; and these were laid waste together, and so said to lament: according to others they were two walls, a wall the son of a wall, as Jarchi interprets it; an outward and an inward wall, one higher than another; a low wall over against a high wall; which was as a rampart or bulwark, for the strength and support of it: they languished together;
or fell together, as persons in a fit faint away and full to the ground.

Lamentaciones 2:8 In-Context

6 Derrib贸 su templo
como si fuera apenas una choza en el jard铆n.
El Se帽or
ha borrado todo recuerdo
de los festivales sagrados y los d铆as de descanso.
Ante su ira feroz
reyes y sacerdotes caen juntos.
7 El Se帽or rechaz贸 su propio altar;
desprecia su propio santuario.
Entreg贸 los palacios de Jerusal茅n
a sus enemigos.
Ellos gritan en el templo del Se帽or
como si fuera un d铆a de celebraci贸n.
8 El Se帽or
decidi贸
destruir las murallas de la bella Jerusal茅n.
Hizo cuidadosos planes para su destrucci贸n,
despu茅s los llev贸 a cabo.
Por eso, los terraplenes y las murallas
cayeron ante 茅l.
9 Las puertas de Jerusal茅n se han hundido en la tierra;
茅l rompi贸 sus cerrojos y sus barrotes.
Sus reyes y pr铆ncipes fueron desterrados a tierras lejanas;
su ley dej贸 de existir.
Sus profetas no reciben
m谩s visiones de parte del Se帽or
.
10 Los l铆deres de la bella Jerusal茅n
se sientan en el suelo en silencio;
est谩n vestidos de tela 谩spera
y se echan polvo sobre la cabeza.
Las j贸venes de Jerusal茅n
bajan la cabeza avergonzadas.
