Jeremiæ 2:8

HETH. Cogitavit Dominus dissipare murum filiae Sion; tetendit funiculum, non avertit manum suam a perditione; et in luctum redegit antemurale et murum: pariter elanguerunt.

Parallel Translations

Clementine Latin Vulgate (1592)
Sacerdotes non dixerunt : Ubi est Dominus ? et tenentes legem nescierunt me, et pastores prævaricati sunt in me, et prophetæ prophetaverunt in Baal, et idola secuti sunt.

Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
Cogitavit Dominus dissipare
murum filiæ Sion;
tetendit funiculum suum,
et non avertit manum suam a perditione:
luxitque antemurale,
et murus pariter dissipatus est.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion,.... Either the wall of the city, as Aben Ezra; or the wall that encompassed the temple, and all the outward courts of it, as Dr. Lightfoot s thinks; this the Lord had determined to destroy, and according to his purposes did destroy it, or suffer it to be demolished; and so all were laid open for the enemy to enter:

he hath stretched out a line; a line of destruction, to mark out how far the destruction should go, and bow much should be laid in ruins; all being as exactly done, according to the purpose and counsel of God, as if it was done by line and rule; see Isaiah 34:11;

he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; till he made a full end of the city and temple, as he first designed:

therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament: the "chel" and the wall; all that space between the courts of the temple and the wall that surrounded it was called the "chel"; and so the Targum, the circumference or enclosure; and these were laid waste together, and so said to lament: according to others they were two walls, a wall the son of a wall, as Jarchi interprets it; an outward and an inward wall, one higher than another; a low wall over against a high wall; which was as a rampart or bulwark, for the strength and support of it:

they languished together; or fell together, as persons in a fit faint away and full to the ground.

s Prospect of the Temple, c. 17. p. 1089.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A line - Compare Isaiah 34:11. The destruction is systematic and thorough.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 8. He hath stretched out a line — The line of devastation; marking what was to be pulled down and demolished.
