Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Lam 1:2

Lam 1:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Beth. Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.”
On this verse:
“in the night--even in the night, the period of rest and oblivion of griefs (Job 7:3). lovers . . . friends--the heathen states allied to Judah, and their idols. The idols whom she "loved" (Jer 2:20-25) could not comfort her. Her former allies would not: nay, some "treacherously" joined her enemies against her (Kg2 24:2, Kg2 24:7; Psa 137:7).”
