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 Las calzadas de Si贸n tienen luto, porque no hay quien venga 谩 las solemnidades; Todas sus puertas est谩n asoladas, sus sacerdotes gimen, Sus v铆rgenes afligidas, y ella tiene amargura.
5 Sus enemigos han sido hechos cabeza, sus aborrecedores fueron prosperados; Porque Jehov谩 la afligi贸 por la multitud de sus rebeliones: Sus ni帽os fueron en cautividad delante del enemigo.
6 Fu茅se de la hija de Si贸n toda su hermosura: Sus pr铆ncipes fueron como ciervos que no hallan pasto, Y anduvieron sin fortaleza delante del perseguidor.
7 Jerusalem, cuando cay贸 su pueblo en mano del enemigo y no hubo quien le ayudase, Se acord贸 de los d铆as de su aflicci贸n, y de sus rebeliones, Y de todas sus cosas deseables que tuvo desde los tiempos antiguos: Mir谩ronla los enemigos, y escarnecieron de sus s谩bados.
8 Pecado cometi贸 Jerusalem; por lo cual ella ha sido removida: Todos los que la honraban la han menospreciado, porque vieron su verg眉enza; Y ella suspira, y se vuelve atr谩s.
