Rashi, on Lam 1:21

“Sin. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like unto me.”

“that You have done it You caused them to hate me when You separated me from their food and from their drink and from intermarrying with them. Had I intermarried with them, they would have had compassion upon me and upon their daughters’ sons. You had brought the day that You proclaimed If only You had brought upon them the appointed day that You proclaimed upon me. and let them be like me in distress.”
