George Leo Haydock, on Lam 1:5

“He. Her adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor.”

“Lords. Literally, “at the head,” (Haydock) which Moses had threatened, Deuteronomy xxvi. 1, 43. (Calmet) — This would be most cutting. (Worthington)”
