Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 2:22

22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day, my terrors round about , so that in the day of the LORDs anger none escaped, nor remained: those that I have swadled and brought up, hath mine enemy consumed .

As my People were wont to be called together from all parts in a solemn day, when they were to meet at Ierusalem from all parts of [illegible: 1 letter]udea, so now by thy Providence my terrible Enemies, or terrible things are by thee called together against that Holy City, whither thy People were wont to be called to thy solemn Worship.

Thou hast made me as a great mother to bring up many inhabitants that were my Children, and now the Enemy hath consumed the far greater number of them.
