George Leo Haydock, on Lam 2:7
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Lam 2:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.”
On this verse:
“Cursed, or suffered it to be polluted, (Worthington) as he looked on it with horror, after it had been profaned by Achaz, &c. — Towers. Septuagint, “palaces;” bareon . — Feast. What a contrast! The temple used to resound with songs of praise and music: the Chaldeans fill it with insolent shouts of victory.”
