Lamentations 5:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

We are all of us without a king, (who is the common father of the country,) we are deprived of thy fatherly care and protection, many young children amongst us are left without an earthly parent. Our mothers are as widows; either our great cities are like widows, wanting magistrates; or, our women that were married are left widows.

Lamentations 5:3

3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
