George Leo Haydock, on Lam 1:21

“Sin. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like unto me.”

“Done it. They conclude that I am cast off for ever. But when I shall be comforted, their turn will come; (Calmet) or rather they will feel the scourge soon after me. — Consolation. Hebrew, “which thou hast appointed.” (Haydock) (Chap. xlviii. 26., &c., and Ezechiel xxv., &c.)”
