Lamentations 2:11
Caph
_ _ liver is poured, etc. — that is, as the liver was thought to be the seat of the passions, “all my feelings are poured out and prostrated for,” etc. The “liver,” is here put for the bile (“gall,” Job 16:13; “bowels,” Psalms 22:14) in a bladder on the surface of the liver, copiously discharged when the passions are agitated.
_ _ swoon — through faintness from the effects of hunger. |
Lamentations 2:11
Mine eyes — This whole verse is but expressive of the prophets great affliction for the miseries come upon the Jews. He wept himself almost blind. Bowels — His passion had disturbed his bodily humours, that his bowels were troubled. Liver — His gall lying under his liver. All these are expressions of great affliction and sorrow. Swoon — During the famine, occasioned by the long siege. |
