Jeremiah 4:30
_ _ when thou art spoiled — rather, “thou, O destroyed one” [Maurer].
_ _ rentest ... face with painting — Oriental women paint their eyes with stibium, or antimony, to make them look full and sparkling, the black margin causing the white of the eyes to appear the brighter by contrast (2 Kings 9:30). He uses the term “distendest” in derision of their effort to make their eyes look large [Maurer]; or else, “rentest,” that is, dost lacerate by puncturing the eyelid in order to make the antimony adhere [Rosenmuller]. So the Jews use every artifice to secure the aid of Egypt against Babylon.
_ _ face — rather, thy eyes (Ezekiel 23:40). |
