Lamentations2:5
5 The LORD was an enemy; he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces; he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation .
See ver. 2. Several pathetical expressions signifying the same things, properly imitating the dialect of Mourners whose passion suffers them not to speak according to Art, but frequently they say the same things over and over.
