Contextual Overview

1 Call to remembraunce (O Lorde) what we haue suffred, consider and see our confusion. 2 Our inheritaunce is turned to the straungers, and our houses to the aliaunts. 3 We are become carefull and fatherlesse, and our mothers are as the wydowes. 4 We are fayne to drinke our owne water for money, and our owne wood must we buy for money. 5 Our neckes are vnder persecution, we are weery and haue no rest. 6 [Aforetime] we yeelded our selues to the Egyptians, [and nowe] to the Assyrians, onlye that we might haue bread inough. 7 Our fathers (which nowe are gone) haue sinned, and we must beare their wickednesse. 8 Seruauntes haue the rule of vs, and no man deliuereth vs out of their handes. 9 We must get our liuing with the perill of our liues, because of the drouth of the wildernesse. 10 Our skinne is as it had ben made blacke in an ouen, for very sore hunger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They ravished the women in Zion,.... Or "humbled" them w; an euphemism; the women that were married to men in Zion, as the Targum; and if this wickedness was committed in the holy mountain of Zion, it was still more abominable and afflicting, and to be complained of; and if by the servants before mentioned, as Aben Ezra interprets it, it is another aggravating circumstance of it; for this was done not in Babylon when captives there; but at the taking of the city of Jerusalem, and by the common soldiers, as is too often practised:

[and] the maids in the cities of Judah; in all parts of the country, where the Chaldean army ravaged, there they ravished the maids. The Targum is,

"the women that were married to men in Zion were humbled by strangers; (the Targum in the king of Spain's Bible is, by the Romans;) and virgins in the cities of Judah by the Chaldeans;''

suggesting that this account has reference to both destructions of the city, and the concomitants and consequences thereof.

w ענו εταπεινωσαν, Sept. "humiliaverunt", V. L. Munster.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They ravished - They humbled.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 11. They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. — The evil mentioned here was predicted by Moses, Deuteronomy 28:30; Deuteronomy 28:32, and by Jeremiah, Jeremiah 6:12.
