Lamentaciones 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:5

The Lord was as an enemy
Who formerly was on their side, their God and guardian, their protector and deliverer, but now against them; and a terrible thing it is to have God for an enemy, or even to be as one; this is repeated, as being exceeding distressing, and even intolerable. Mr. Broughton renders it, "the Lord is become a very enemy"; taking "caph" for a note of reality, and not of similitude; he hath swallowed up Israel;
the ten tribes, or the Jewish nation in general; as a lion, or any other savage beast, swallows its prey, and makes nothing of it, and leaves none behind: he hath swallowed up all her palaces:
the palaces of Zion or Jerusalem; the palaces of the king, princes, nobles, and great men; as an earthquake or inundation swallows up whole streets and cities at once; (See Gill on Lamentations 2:2); he hath destroyed his strong holds:
the fortified places of the land of Israel, the towers and castles: and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation;
exceeding great lamentation, for the destruction of its cities, towns, villages, and the inhabitants of them.

Lamentaciones 2:5 In-Context

3 Dio rienda suelta a su furory deshizo todo el poder de Israel.Nos vimos frente al enemigo,y el Se帽or nos neg贸 su ayuda.Ardi贸 en Jacob como un fuego encendidoque consum铆a cuanto le rodeaba.
4 Como enemigo, tens贸 el arco;lista estaba su mano derecha.Como enemigo, elimin贸a nuestros seres queridos.Como fuego, derram贸 su irasobre las tiendas de la bella Si贸n.
5 El Se帽or se porta como enemigo:ha destruido a Israel.Ha destruido todos sus palaciosy derribado sus baluartes.Ha multiplicado el luto y los lamentospor la bella Jud谩.
6 Ha desolado su morada como a un jard铆n;ha derribado su lugar de reuni贸n.El SE脩OR ha hecho que Si贸n olvidesus fiestas solemnes y sus s谩bados;se desat贸 su furia contra el reyy dej贸 de lado al sacerdote.
7 El Se帽or ha rechazado su altar;ha abandonado su santuario.Ha puesto en manos del enemigolas murallas de sus palacios.隆Lanzan gritos en la casa del SE脩ORcomo en d铆a de fiesta!
