This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Samech
They ... them - “They,” that is, “men” (Lam 4:14). Even the very Gentiles, regarded as unclean by the Jews, who were ordered most religiously to avoid all defilements, cried unto the latter, “depart,” as being unclean: so universal was the defilement of the city by blood.
wandered - As the false prophets and their followers had “wandered” blind with infatuated and idolatrous crime in the city (Lam 4:14), so they must now “wander” among the heathen in blind consternation with calamity.
they said - that is, the Gentiles said: it was said among the heathen, “The Jews shall no more sojourn in their own land” [Grotius]; or, wheresoever they go in their wandering exile, “they shall not stay long” [Ludovicus De Dieu], (Deu 28:65).
