These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
These two (things) are come unto thee ... desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword - two classes of evils, because he enumerates four-namely, desolation and destruction to the land and state; famine and the sword to the people.
Who shall be sorry for thee? - so as to give thee effectual relief; as the parallel clause,
By whom shall I comfort thee? shows (Lamentations 2:11-13).
