Lamentations 2:15

Lam 2:15 All that pass by clap [their] hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, [saying, Is] this the city that [men] call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

Ver. 15. All that pass by thee clap. ] See Lamentations 1:17 .

Is this the city? ] God’s palace upon earth, the porch of paradise, &c., as they said of Jezebel when she lay torn with dogs, Is this that Jezebel?

“ O quantum haec Niobe, Niobe mutatur ab ills? ”
