John Trapp on Lamentations 1:9

Ver. 9. Her filthineſſe is in her skirts] Taxat impudextiam inſignem. She rather glorieth in her wickedneſſe,Paſchaſius. then is any whit abaſhed of it: a Metaphor from a menſtrous woman that is immodeſt. Oh quam vulgare hoc hodiè malum! See Iſa. 3.9. But whence this graceleſneſſe?

She remembreth not her laſt end] i. e. What a black tail of plagues ſin draweth after it,Plura de extremis loqui pars ignaviae eſt. Tacit. lib. 2. Hiſt. and that for all theſe things ſhe muſt come to Judgment. Memorare noviſſima is a good preſervative from ſin: but moſt men are of Otho the Emperours mind who thought it a piece of daſtardy to ſpeak or think much of death: whereas Moſes aſſureth us, that by keeping out the thoughts of death, we keep our ſpirits void of true magnanimity: and that one of thoſe that will conſider their latter end would chaſe a thouſand, Deut 32.30.

Therefore ſhe came down wonderfully] Heb. with wonderment[illegible: 1 letter]: Her incogitancy and inconſideratneſſe, together with the licentious wickedneſſe following thereupon (being more heavy then a talent of lead, Zach. 5.7.) brought her down with a powder, as we ſay, ita ut ad miraculum corruerit.

O Lord, behold mine affliction] If not me (as utterly unworthy) yet mine affliction, as thou once didſt Hagar's, Gen. 16.13. and if I may obtain no favour, yet why ſhould the enemy inſult to thy diſhonour? Deut. 32.27. Pſal. 35.26. & 38.16. Jer. 48.26, 42. Zeph. 2.20.
