Commentary on Lamentations 1:10

Theological / Devotional

Spread out his hand. Evidently, to seize and to control.

Heathen entered. The Ammonites and Moabites were not even to enter the congregation (Deut. 23:3, 4); now they, with other Gentiles, have defiled the holy places (see 2 Kings 24:2; Ps. 74; 79) from which even a Jew who was not a priest was excluded.
