Lamentaciones 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:17

The Lord hath done [that] which he had devised
It was not so much the Chaldeans that did it, though they ascribed it to themselves; but it was the Lord's doing, and what he had deliberately thought of, purposed and designed within himself; all whose purposes and devices certainly come to pass: he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old;
not only by the mouth of Jeremiah, years ago, or in the times of Isaiah, long before him; but even in the days of Moses; see ( Leviticus 26:17 ) , &c. ( Deuteronomy 28:20 ) So the Targum,

``which he commanded to Moses the prophet from ancient days, that if the children of Israel would not keep the commands of the Lord, he would take vengeance on them:''
he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied;
he hath thrown down, or caused to be thrown down, without any pity, the walls of Jerusalem; and not only the houses and palaces in it, but also his own house, the temple: and he hath caused [thine] enemy to rejoice over thee;
giving thorn victory, and putting all into their hands; on which they insulted them, and gloried over them: he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries;
increased their strength and power, their kingdom and authority; and which swelled their pride, and made them more haughty and insolent.

Lamentaciones 2:17 In-Context

15 S谩mec : Todos los que pasaban por el camino, batieron las manos sobre ti. Silbaron, y movieron sus cabezas sobre la hija de Jerusal茅n, diciendo : 驴Es 茅sta la ciudad que dec铆an de perfecta hermosura, el gozo de toda la tierra?
16 Pe : Todos tus enemigos abrieron sobre ti su boca; y silbaron, y rechinaron los dientes; dijeron: Devoremos; cierto 茅ste es el d铆a que esper谩bamos; lo hemos hallado, lo hemos visto.
17 Ayin : El SE脩OR hizo lo que determin贸, cumpli贸 su palabra que 茅l hab铆a mandado desde tiempo antiguo; destruy贸, y no perdon贸; y alegr贸 sobre ti al enemigo, y enalteci贸 el cuerno de tus adversarios.
18 Tsade : El coraz贸n de ellos clamaba al Se帽or: Oh muro de la hija de Sion, echa l谩grimas como un arroyo d铆a y noche; no descanses, ni calle la ni帽a de tu ojo.
19 Cof : Lev谩ntate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas; derrama como agua tu coraz贸n ante la presencia del Se帽or; alza tus manos a 茅l por la vida de tus peque帽itos, que desfallecen de hambre en las entradas de todas las calles.
