Lamentaciones 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:10

The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, [and]
keep silence
Who used to sit in the gate on thrones of judgment, and passed sentence in causes tried before them; or were wont to give advice and counsel, and were regarded as oracles, now sit on the ground, and dumb, as mourners; see ( Job 2:13 ) ; they have cast up dust upon their heads;
on their white hairs and gray locks, which bespoke wisdom, and made them grave and venerable: they have girded themselves with sackcloth:
after the manner of mourners; who used to be clothed in scarlet and rich apparel, in robes suitable to their office as civil magistrates: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground:
through shame and sorrow; who used to look brisk and gay, and walk with outstretched necks, and carried their heads high, but now low enough. Aben Ezra interprets it of the hair of their heads, which used to be tied up, but now loosed and dishevelled, and hung down as it were to the ground.

8 Chet : El SE脩OR determin贸 destruir el muro de la hija de Sion; extendi贸 el cordel, no retrajo su mano de destruir; se enlut贸 el antemuro y el muro; fueron destruidos juntamente.
9 Tet : Sus puertas fueron echadas por tierra, destruy贸 y quebrant贸 sus cerrojos; su rey y sus pr铆ncipes son llevados entre los gentiles; no hay ley; sus profetas tampoco hallaron visi贸n del SE脩OR.
10 Yod : Se sentaron en tierra, callaron los ancianos de la hija de Sion; echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas, se ci帽eron de cilicio; las hijas de Jerusal茅n bajaron sus cabezas a tierra.
11 Caf : Mis ojos desfallecieron de l谩grimas, rugieron mis entra帽as, mi h铆gado se derram贸 por tierra por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo, desfalleciendo el ni帽o y el que mamaba, en las plazas de la ciudad.
12 L谩med : Dec铆an a sus madres: 驴D贸nde est谩 el trigo y el vino? Desfalleciendo como muertos en las calles de la ciudad, derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.
