Lamentations 2:22

Lamentations 2:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Thou hast called as in a solemn day. The passage is illustrated by , according to which the instruments of Jehovah's vengeance are "summoned" by him to a festival when starting for the holy war. My terrors round about. Almost identical with one of the characteristic phrases of Jeremiah's prophecies, "fear [or rather, 'terror'] on every side" (see on ). Have swaddled; rather, have borne upon the hands.
