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

The crown is fallen [from] our head,.... Or, "the crown of our head is fallen" a; all their honour and glory as a nation were gone; the glory of their kingdom and priesthood, to both which a crown or mitre belonged; the glory of church and state. Aben Ezra interprets it of the temple, the place of the divine Majesty. Sanctius thinks there is an allusion to the crowns they wore upon their heads at their feasts and festivals; and so the words have a close connection with what goes before:

woe unto us that we have sinned! which had brought all these evils upon them: this is not to be considered as an imprecation or denunciation of misery; but as a commiseration of their case; calling upon others to it, and particularly God himself, to have mercy upon them; for, alas for them! they had sinned, and justly deserved what was come upon them; and therefore throw themselves at the feet of mercy, and implore divine compassion.

a נפלה עטרת ראשנו "cecidit corona capitis nostri", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Literally, “The crown of our head is fallen,” i. e. what was our chief ornament and dignity is lost; the independence of the nation, and all that gave them rank and honor.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 16. The crown is fallen from our head — At feasts, marriages, c., they used to crown themselves with garlands of flowers all festivity of this kind was now at an end. Or it may refer to their having lost all sovereignty, being made slaves.
