Lamentations 2:16

Lam 2:16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed [her] up: certainly this [is] the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen [it].

Ver. 16. All thine enemies opened their mouths against thee. ] They speak largely and freely to thy dishonour, the very banks of blasphemy being broken down, as it were.

We have swallowed her up. ] But shall find her to be hard meat, such as they shall digest in hell. See Lamentations 2:2 ; Lamentations 2:5 .

Certainly this is the day that we look for. ] Pray we that the Papists may never see here their longlooked for day, as they have long called it.
