Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 28. Daughters of Jerusalem. Women of Jerusalem. This was a common mode of speaking among the Hebrews. Weep for yourselves, &c. This refers to the calamities that were about to come upon them in the desolation of their city by the Romans. __________________________________________________________________
