Lamentations 1:6

And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts [that] find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.

Ver. 6. And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed.] Her glory, as Isa 5:14 that is chiefly the temple, and the service of God in it. It is now Ichabod with her. The beauty and bulwark of a nation are God's holy ordinances.

Her princes are become like harts,] i.e., Heartless, bereft of courage. They dare not make headway against an enemy.

Before the pursuer.] R. Solomon here observeth that the Hebrew word רורף is written in full, Hebrew Text Note so as it is scarcely anywhere else, to note the fulness of the persecution.
