Lamentations5:8
Servants have ruled over us - To be subject to such is the most painful and dishonorable bondage: -
Quio domini faciant, audent cum talia fures?
Virg. Ecl. 3:16. "Since slaves so insolent are grown,
What may not masters do?"
Perhaps he here alludes to the Chaldean soldiers, whose will the wretched Jews were obliged to obey.
