Contextual Overview
1 The Prophet Speaks: The purest gold is ruined and has lost its shine; jewels from the temple lie scattered in the streets. 2 These are Zion's people, worth more than purest gold; yet they are counted worthless like dishes of clay. 3 Even jackals nurse their young, but my people are like ostriches that abandon their own. 4 Babies are so thirsty that their tongues are stuck to the roof of the mouth. Children go begging for food, but no one gives them any. 5 All who ate expensive foods lie starving in the streets; those who grew up in luxury now sit on trash heaps. 6 My nation was punished worse than the people of Sodom, whose city was destroyed in a flash without the help of human hands. 7 The leaders of Jerusalem were purer than snow and whiter than milk; their bodies were healthy and glowed like jewels. 8 Now they are blacker than tar, and no one recognizes them; their skin clings to their bones and is drier than firewood. 9 Being killed with a sword is better than slowly starving to death. 10 Life in the city is so bad that loving mothers have boiled and eaten their own children.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Lord hath accomplished his fury,.... Which rose up in his mind, and which he purposed in himself to bring upon the sinful people of the Jews:
he hath poured out his fierce anger; the vials of his wrath in great abundance, even all he meant to pour out upon them:
and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof: not in the strong hold of Zion only, but in the whole city of Jerusalem, which was set on fire by the Chaldeans, as instruments, according to the will of God; and which not only consumed the houses of it, but even the foundations of them; so that it looked as if there was no hope of its ever being rebuilt. Aben Ezra interprets this fire of the famine.
