Lamentaciones 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 1:6

And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed
The kingdom removed; the priesthood ceased; the temple, their beautiful house, burnt; the palaces of their king and nobles demolished; and everything in church and state that was glorious were now no more: her princes are become like harts [that] find no pasture;
that are heartless and without courage, fearful and timorous, as harts are, especially when destitute of food. The Targum is

``her princes run about for food, as harts run about in the wilderness, and find no place fit for pasture:''
and they are gone without strength before the pursuer;
having no spirit nor courage to oppose the enemy, nor strength to flee from him, they fell into his hands, and so were carried captive; see ( Jeremiah 52:8-10 ) . Jarchi observes, that the word for "pursuer" has here all its letters, and nowhere else; and so denotes the full pursuit of the enemy, and the complete victory obtained by him.

Lamentaciones 1:6 In-Context

4 Los caminos a Sión están de duelo;ya nadie asiste a sus fiestas solemnes.Las puertas de la ciudad se ven desoladas:sollozan sus sacerdotes,se turban sus doncellas,¡toda ella es amargura!
5 Sus enemigos se volvieron sus amos;¡tranquilos se ven sus adversarios!El SEÑOR la ha acongojadopor causa de sus muchos pecados.Sus hijos marcharon al cautiverio,arrastrados por sus enemigos.
6 La bella Sión ha perdidotodo su antiguo esplendor.Sus príncipes parecen venadosque vagan en busca de pastos.Exhaustos, se dan a la fugafrente a sus perseguidores.
7 Jerusalén trae a la memorialos tristes días de su peregrinaje;se acuerda de todos los tesorosque en el pasado fueron suyos.Cuando su pueblo cayó en manos enemigasnadie acudió en su ayuda.Sus adversarios vieron su caíday se burlaron de ella.
8 Grave es el pecado de Jerusalén;¡por eso se ha vuelto impura!Los que antes la honraban ahora la desprecian,pues han visto su desnudez;ella misma se deshace en llanto,y no se atreve a dar la cara.
