This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lam_2:11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Ver. 11. Mine eyes do fail with tears.] Those fountains (as the Hebrew word signifieth) are even drawn dry. I have wept till I can weep no more, as David did; or I have wept myself blind, as Faustus the son of Vortigern (once king of England) is said to have done.
My bowels are troubled.] Heb., Bemudded. See Lam_1:20.
My liver is poured upon the earth.] I have well nigh vomited up my gall. {as Job_16:13}
For the destruction.] Heb., The breach even to shivers, as young trees or ships are broken by tempests.
Because the children and sucklings swoon in the streets.] Miserabile etiam hostibus spectaculum; a rueful sight.
