George Leo Haydock, on Lam 2:6

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Lam 2:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.”
On this verse:
“Tent: the temple, with the same indifference as if it had been a hut, built to guard the fruit of a garden, Isaias v. 5., and Psalm lxxix. 13. — Sabbaths. The Jews rested, but could offer no sacrifices in captivity. — Priest. Saraias was slain, and Sedecias imprisoned, &c., chap. lii. 10. (Calmet)”
