Lamentations2:11
Ver. 11. Mine eyes do fail with teares] Thoſe fountaines (as the Hebrew word ſignifieth) are even drawn dry. I have wept till I can weep no more, as David did; or I have wept my ſelf blind, as Fauſtus the ſon of Vortiger (once King of England) is ſaid to have done.
My bowels are troubled] Heb. bemudded. See chap. 1.20.
My liver is poured upon the earth] I have well-nigh vomited up my gall, as Job 16.13.
For the deſtruction] Heb. the breach even to ſhivers: as young trees or ſhips are broken by tempeſts.
Becauſe the children and ſucklings ſwoon in the ſtreets] Miſerabile etiam hoſtibus ſpectaculum, a rueful ſight.
