Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 1:4

4 The wayes of Zion do mourn, because none cometh to the solemn feasts : all her gates are desolate k: her priests sigh , her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness .

The wayes that lead to the Temple, have as unlovely a complexion as mourners, being overgrown by reason that none goeth up as usually to the Feasts of the Passeover, of Tabernacles, &c. Either all the Gates of Ierusalem, or the Temple, or all her Cities are very thin of people, the places that use to be so full.

Her Priests that were wont to be so fully imployed at Festivals receiving the peoples Oblations, and offering Sacrifices they mourn having now nothing to do.

The Virgins who in those Feasts were wont to play with Timbrels, Psal. 68.25. they now mourn, and persons of all Ages and ranks are in bitterness.
