Lamentations 4:11 - Exposition

Hath accomplished means here, not "hath finished," but "hath poured out in full measure," as in the song of Moses Jehovah declares that he will "spend his arrows upon them"—the Hebrew verb is the same as here ( Deuteronomy 32:23 ). To show the completeness of Zion's ruin it is compared to a fire which hath devoured the (very) foundations thereof.
