Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 4:10

10 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children, they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people .

This was according to what God had threatned in case of disobedience, Deut. 28.57. and a thing which hath often happened in sieges, 2 Kings 6.29. such things did happen in the last destruction of Ierusalem, as we read in Iosephus, and though we read of no such thing happening in the siege of it by Nebuchadnezzar, yet that there were some such sad instances appears from this Text.
