This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Samech
trodden, etc. - Maurer, from Syriac root, translates, “cast away”; so 2Ki 23:27. But Psa 119:118, supports English Version.
in ... midst of me - They fell not on the battlefield, but in the heart of the city; a sign of the divine wrath.
assembly - the collected forces of Babylon; a very different “assembly” from the solemn ones which once met at Jerusalem on the great feasts. The Hebrew means, literally, such a solemn “assembly” or feast (compare Lam 2:22).
trodden ... virgin ... in a wine-press - hath forced her blood to burst forth, as the red wine from the grapes trodden in the press (Isa 63:3; Rev 14:19, Rev 14:20; Rev 19:15).
