Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, The adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations.
      IV. Jerusalem's God is here complained to concerning all these things, and all is referred to his compassionate consideration (Lamentations 2:9; Lamentations 2:9): "O Lord! behold my affliction, and take cognizance of it;" and (Lamentations 2:11; Lamentations 2:11), "See, O Lord! and consider, take order about it." Note, The only way to make ourselves easy under our burdens is to cast them upon God first, and leave it to him to do with us as seemeth him good.
