Lamentations1:15
Ver. 15. The Lord hath trodden under foot] As unſavory ſalt; that is, he hath covered with the greateſt contempt.
All my mighty men] Vulg. My Magnifico's or Gallants; in whom I too much truſted.
In the midſt of me] In the very boſom of their mother; as Caracalla killed his brother Geta, conſecrating the ſword wherewith he ſo killed him.
He hath called an aſſembly againſt me] Vocant adverſum me tempus, ſo the Vulgar verſion hath it; (and Calvin to the ſame purpoſe) He hath called the time againſt me: i. e. a ſet time wherein to deſtroy my ſtrong ones. Howbeit One maketh this inference from the words,D. Playfer. For the very time which we have contemned, we ſhall be condemned: and for every day which we have ſpent idlely, we ſhall be ſhent ſeverely. This is true, but little to the preſent purpoſe: like as Huſhai ſaid, Ahitophel's counſel was good, but not now.
The Lord hath trodden her as in a wine-preſſe] By another like Metaphor, God is ſaid to have threſhed Babylon as a threſhing-flore, Jer. 51.33.
