Introduction
The present deplorable sate of the nation is now contrasted with its ancient prosperity, Lamentations 4:1-12 ; and the unhappy change ascribed, in a great degree, to the profligacy of the priests and prophets, Lamentations 4:13-16 . The national calamities are tenderly lamented, Lamentations 4:17-20 . The ruin of the Edomites also, who had insulted the Jews in their distress, is ironically predicted, Lamentations 4:21 . See Psalm 137:7 , and Obadiah 1:10-12 . The chapter closes with a gracious promise of deliverance from the Babylonish captivity, Lamentations 4:22 .
