Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Lam 2:12
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Lam 2:12 · Douay-Rheims
“Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.”
On this verse:
“as the wounded--famine being as deadly as the sword (Jer 52:6). soul . . . poured . . . into . . . mothers bosom--Instinctively turning to their mother's bosom, but finding no milk there, they breathe out their life as it were "into her bosom."”
