Contextual Overview

1How dark the gold has become,How the pure gold has changed!The sacred stones are poured outAt the head of every street. 2The precious sons of Zion,Weighed against fine gold,How they are regarded as earthen jars,The work of a potter's hands! 3Even jackals offer the breast;They nurse their young;But the daughter of my people has become cruelLike ostriches in the wilderness. 4The tongue of the nursing baby cleavesTo the roof of its mouth because of thirst;The infants ask for bread,But no one breaks it for them. 5Those who ate delicaciesAre desolate in the streets;Those reared in crimsonEmbrace ash pits. 6So the iniquity of the daughter of my peopleIs greater than the sin of Sodom,Which was overthrown as in a moment,And no hands whirled toward her. 7Her Nazirites were purer than snow;They were whiter than milk;They were more ruddy in body than corals,Their polishing was like lapis lazuli. 8Their form is blacker than soot;They are not recognized in the streets;Their skin is shriveled on their bones;It is withered, it has become like wood. 9Better are those pierced through with the swordThan those pierced through with hunger;For their life flows away, being strickenFor lack of the produce of the field. 10The hands of compassionate womenBoiled their own children;They became food for themBecause of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

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.
