Lamentações de Jeremias 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:2

The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and
hath not pitied
As he regarded not his own habitation the temple, nor the ark his footstool, it is no wonder he should be unconcerned about the habitations of others; as of the inhabitants of the land of Judea and of Jerusalem, particularly of the king, his nobles, and the great men; these the Lord swallowed up, or suffered to be swallowed up, as houses in an earthquake, and by an inundation, so as to be seen no more; and this he did without showing the least reluctance, pity, and compassion; being so highly incensed and provoked by their sins and transgressions: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of
Judah;
not only the dwelling houses of the people, but the most fortified places, their castles, towers, and citadels: he hath brought [them] down to the ground;
and not only battered and shook them, but beat them down, and laid them level with the ground; and all this done in the fury of his wrath, being irritated to it by the sins of his people; even the daughter of Judah, or the congregation thereof, as the Targum: he hath polluted the kingdom, and the princes thereof;
what was reckoned sacred, the kingdom of the house of David, and the kings and princes of it, the Lord's anointed; these being defiled with sin, God cast them away, as filth to the dunghill, and gave them up into the hands of the Gentiles, who were reckoned unclean; and thus they were profaned. Jarchi interprets these princes of the Israelites in common, who were called a kingdom of priests; and makes mention of a Midrash, that explains them of the princes above, or of heaven.

1 O Senhor cobriu a cidade de Siãocom a nuvem da sua ira!Lançou por terra o esplendor de Israel,que se elevava para os céus;não se lembrou do estrado dos seus pésno dia da sua ira.

2 Sem piedade o Senhor devoroutodas as habitações de Jacó;em sua ira destruiu as fortalezasda filha de Judá.Derrubou ao chão e desonrouo seu reino e os seus líderes.

3 Em sua flamejante ira,cortou todo o poder de Israel.Retirou a sua mão direitadiante da aproximação do inimigo.Queimou Jacó como um fogo ardenteque consome tudo ao redor.

4 Como um inimigo, preparou o seu arco;como um adversário,a sua mão direita está pronta.Ele massacrou tudo o que era agradável contemplar;derramou sua ira como fogosobre a tenda da cidade de Sião.

5 O Senhor é como um inimigo;ele tem devorado Israel.Tem devorado todos os seus paláciose destruído as suas fortalezas.Tem feito multiplicar os prantose as lamentações da filha de Judá.
