The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart (h) and the wall to lament; they languished together.
(h) This is a figurative speech as that was, when he said the ways lamented, (Lamentations 1:4) meaning that this sorrow was so great that the insensible things had their part of it.
