John Trapp on Lamentations 2:4

Ver. 4. He hath bent his bow like an enemy] He doth not only help the enemies, but himſelf fighteth againſt us with his own bare hand. He hath bent his bow, id eſt, vim ſuam ultricem, ſaith Origen, that is, his avenging force: So the Poet faineth that Apollo ſhot his deadly ſhafts into the camp of the Grecians.

He ſtood with his right-hand] Heb. He was ſet: Vulg. Firmavit dextram ſuam, he held his right hand ſteddily, that he might hit what he ſhot at.

In the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion] In Jeruſalem that was ſweetly ſituated, as a tabernacle pitcht in a pleaſant plain; but now a field of blood.

He hath poured out his wrath like fire] i. e. Abundantly and moſt vehemently, perinde ac Aetna, Hecla, &c.
