Lamentations 2:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They have made a noise, &c.— "The Chaldeans have sent forth the sounds of joy on account of their victory, in the temple of the Lord, as the Jews were accustomed to do in their solemn festivals." Instead of a joyful sound of praises and thanksgivings to God, nothing was heard but the noise of soldiers, and the rude vociferations of infidels profaning the holy place and insulting the God who was worshipped there. See Psalms 74:4 and Calmet.

Lamentations 2:7

7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given upd into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
