Lamentações de Jeremias 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:12

They say to their mothers, where [is] corn and wine?
&c.] Not the sucklings who could not speak, nor were used to corn and wine, but the children more grown; both are before spoken of, but these are meant, even the young men of Israel, as the Targum; and such as had been brought up in the best manner, had been used to wine, and not water, and therefore ask for that as well as corn; both take in all the necessaries of life; and which they ask of their mothers, who had been used to feed them, and were most tender of them; but now not seeing and having their usual provisions, and not knowing what was the reason of it, inquire after them, being pressed with hunger: when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city;
having no food given them, though they asked for it time after time, they fainted away, and died a lingering death; as wounded persons do who are not killed at once, which is the more distressing: when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom;
meaning not the desires of their souls for food, expressed in moving and melting language as they sat in their mothers' laps, and lay in their bosoms; which must be piercing unto them, if no more was designed; but their souls or lives themselves, which they gave up through famine, as the Targum; expiring in their mothers' arms.

Lamentações de Jeremias 2:12 In-Context

10 Os líderes da cidade de Siãosentam-se no chão em silêncio;despejam pó sobre a cabeçae usam vestes de lamento.As moças de Jerusaléminclinam a cabeça até o chão.
11 Meus olhos estão cansados de chorar,minha alma está atormentada,meu coração se derrama,porque o meu povo está destruído,porque crianças e bebês desmaiampelas ruas da cidade.
12 Eles clamam às suas mães:“Onde estão o pão e o vinho?”Ao mesmo tempo em que desmaiampelas ruas da cidade, como os feridos,e suas vidas se desvanecemnos braços de suas mães.
13 Que posso dizer a seu favor?Com que posso compará-la,ó cidade de Jerusalém?Com que posso assemelhá-la,a fim de trazer-lhe consolo,ó virgem, ó cidade de Sião?Sua ferida é tão profunda quanto o oceano;quem pode curá-la?
14 As visões dos seus profetaseram falsas e inúteis;eles não expuseram o seu pecadopara evitar o seu cativeiro.As mensagens que eles lhe derameram falsas e enganosas.
