Lamentations 1:8

Cheth

_ _ (1 Kings 8:46).

_ _ is removed — as a woman separated from the congregation of God for legal impurity, which is a type of moral impurity. So Lamentations 1:17; Leviticus 12:2; Leviticus 15:19, etc.

_ _ her nakedness — They have treated her as contumeliously as courtesans from whom their clothes are stripped.

_ _ turneth backward — as modest women do from shame, that is, she is cast down from all hope of restoration [Calvin].

Matthew Henry's Commentary
