Commentary on Lamentations 4:12

Theological / Devotional

Would not have believed. Because of both its strategic position and its fortifications, Jerusalem was considered impregnable. The idea of its inviolability must have been even more enhanced in heathen minds by the supernatural destruction of the Assyrian army when Sennacherib besieged the city (2 Kings 19:35). All this bred a false sense of security among the wicked dwellers in Jerusalem.
