Lamentations 4:16
Pe
_ _ Ain and Pe are here transposed (Lamentations 4:16, Lamentations 4:17), as in Lamentations 2:16, Lamentations 2:17; Lamentations 3:46-51.
_ _ anger — literally, “face”; it is the countenance which, by its expression, manifests anger (Psalms 34:16). Gesenius translates, “the person of Jehovah”; Jehovah present; Jehovah Himself (Exodus 33:14; 2 Samuel 17:11).
_ _ divided — dispersed the Jews.
_ _ they respected not ... priests — This is the language of the Gentiles. “The Jews have no hope of a return: for they respected not even good priests” (2 Chronicles 24:19-22) [Grotius]. Maurer explains it, “They (the victorious foe) regard not the (Jewish) priests when imploring their pity” (Lamentations 5:12). The evident antithesis to “As for us” (Lamentations 4:17) and the language of “the heathen” at the close of Lamentations 4:15, of which Lamentations 4:16 is the continuation, favor the former view. |
Lamentations 4:16
The anger — These words seem to be the language of their enemies triumphing over them. They — Their enemies had no regard to the most venerable persons among them. |
Lamentations 4:16
The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no longer regard them: (k) they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
(k) That is, the enemies. |

Leviticus 26:33-39 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. ... And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
Deuteronomy 28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Deuteronomy 28:64-65 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone. ... And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
Deuteronomy 32:26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

2 Chronicles 36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.
