Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy. Her adversaries are the chief - rule her (Deuteronomy 28:43-44, "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low. He shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail").
Her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. All the foes' attempts must have failed, had not God delivered His people into their hands (Jeremiah 30:15).
