Lamentaciones 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 1:11

All her people sigh
Not her priests only, ( Lamentations 1:4 ) ; but all the common people, because of their affliction, particularly for want of bread. So the Targum,

``all the people of Jerusalem sigh because of the famine;''
for it follows: they seek bread;
to eat, as the Targum; inquire where it is to be had, but in vain: they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul:
or, "to cause the soul to return" F24; to fetch it back when fainting and swooning away through famine; and therefore would give anything for food; part with their rich clothes, jewels, and precious stones; with whatsoever they had that was valuable in their cabinets or coffers, that they might have meat to keep from fainting and dying; to refresh and recruit their spirits spent with hunger: see, O Lord, and consider; for I am become vile;
mean, base, and contemptible, in the eyes of men, through penury and want of food; through poverty, affliction, and distress; and therefore desires the Lord would consider her case, and look with pity and compassion on her.

Lamentaciones 1:11 In-Context

9 Tet : Sus inmundicias est谩n en sus faldas; no se acord贸 de su postrimer铆a; por tanto, ella ha descendido sorprendentemente, no tiene consolador. Mira, oh SE脩OR, mi aflicci贸n, porque el enemigo se ha engrandecido.
10 Yod : Extendi贸 su mano el enemigo a todas sus cosas preciosas; y ella vio a los gentiles entrar en su santuario, de los cuales mandaste que no entrasen en tu congregaci贸n.
11 Caf : Todo su pueblo busc贸 su pan suspirando; dieron por la comida todas sus cosas preciosas, para entretener la vida. Mira, oh SE脩OR, y ve que soy tornada vil.
12 L谩med : 驴No os conmueve a cuantos pas谩is por el camino? Mirad, y ved si hay dolor como mi dolor que me ha venido; porque el SE脩OR me ha angustiado en el d铆a de la ira de su furor.
13 Mem : Desde lo alto envi贸 fuego en mis huesos, el cual se ense帽ore贸; extendi贸 red a mis pies, me torn贸 atr谩s, me puso asolada, y que siempre tenga dolor.
