George Leo Haydock, on Lam 2:9

“Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.”

“Among, as slaves, or in prison. — Law has been neglected; and now it cannot be observed, as to the ceremonial part. There are no public instructions. — No vision. When Jeremias was consulted, he had to pray for ten days, chap. xlii. 7.”
