Lamentations 4:6
Vau
_ _ greater than ... Sodom — (Matthew 11:23). No prophets had been sent to Sodom, as there had been to Judea; therefore the punishment of the latter was heavier than that of the former.
_ _ overthrown ... in a moment — whereas the Jews had to endure the protracted and manifold hardships of a siege.
_ _ no hands stayed on her — No hostile force, as the Chaldeans in the case of Jerusalem, continually pressed on her before her overthrow. Jeremiah thus shows the greater severity of Jerusalem’s punishment than that of Sodom. |
