_ _ sun is gone down while ... yet day — Fortune deserts her at the very height of her prosperity (Amos 8:9).

_ _ she ... ashamed — The mothers (she being collective) are put to the shame of disappointed hopes through the loss of all their children.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 15:1-9.
