Lamentations 1:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. She weepeth sore in the night - even in the night, the period of rest and oblivion of griefs (Job 7:3).

Among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends - the pagan states allied to Judah, and their idols. The idols whom she 'loved' could not comfort her (Jeremiah 2:20-25): her former allies would not; nay, some "treacherously" joined her enemies against her (2 Kings 24:2; 2 Kings 24:7; Psalms 137:7).
