John Trapp on Lamentations 2:10

Ver. 10. The elders of the daughters of Zion] Who ſat once aloft paſſing ſentence; and held themſelves, haply, too high to be told their duties by a poor Prophet.

Sit upon the ground] After the manner of mourners.

And keep ſilence] Who were wont to be the oracles of the Countrey.

They have caſt duſt upon their heads] Thoſe white heads of theirs, which they had ſtained with foul practiſes.

They have girded themſelves with ſackcloth] Heb. ſacks, inſtead of ſilkes.

The virgins of Jeruſalem] Who were wont to walk haughtily, and with ſtretchtout necks, Iſa. 3.16.

Hang down their heads to the ground] As if they were aſhamed of themſelves, and had ſmall joy of their beauty, and former bravery.
