This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lam_1:10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen [that] the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command [that] they should not enter into thy congregation.
Ver. 10. The adversary.] The common enemy both of God and us, out of hatred of the truth and the professors thereof.
Hath spread out his hand.] His plundering and sacrilegious hand.
Upon her pleasant things.] But especially those that were consecrated to the service of God in the temple. The Rabbis here by pleasant or desirable things understand principally the book of the law, which, say they, the Moabites and the Ammonites sought for in the temple, that they might burn it, because therein was forbidden their admission into the Church for ever.
