Lamentations1:2

2 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 .

All her houres are hours of sadness, she doth not onely mourn in the day time but in the night also when she should rest, her cheeks are like the grass in the morning hanging full of drops, as if her head we[illegible: 1 letter]e a fountain of Water, and her eyes Rivers of tears.

In her prosperity she had a great many friends that sought, and courted her favour, with whom she made leagues and confederated (such were the Egyptians, Assyrians, &c.) but they were now so far from helping the Jews that they helped their Enemies, and dealt treacherously with them becoming themselves Enemies instead of assistants to them.

Marginal references: Jer. 13.17.; Job. 7.[illegible: 1 letter]. Psal. 6.6.
