CALVINtranslates, “The enemy<\/I> have cast down our habitations.”<\/P><\/p>\n For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion<\/strong>,…. Out of the fortress of Zion, out of the city of Jerusalem, which was thought to be inexpugnable, and could never be taken; but now a voice is heard out of that, deploring the desolation of it:<\/p>\n how are we spoiled<\/strong>? our houses destroyed, and we plundered of our substance:<\/p>\n we are greatly confounded<\/strong>: filled with shame, on account of their vain confidence; thinking their city would never be taken, and they were safe in it:<\/p>\n because we have forsaken the land<\/strong>; the land of Judea, being obliged to it, the enemy carrying them captive into other countries:<\/p>\n because our dwellings have cast us out<\/strong>; not suffering us to continue there any longer, as being unworthy of them; or enemies have cast down our habitations to the earth, as Jarchi; and so the Targum, “for our palaces are desolate”; the principal buildings in Jerusalem, as well as the houses of the common people, were thrown down to the ground, or burnt with fire, and particularly the temple; so that the whole was in a most ruinous condition, and a fit subject of a mournful song.<\/p>\n We have said before, that when Jeremiah addressed the people in these words, they were still in a tolerably good condition, so that the king had confidence in his own resources; and his counsellors also thought that some aid would come to them from Egypt, and the people were likewise deceived. But the Prophet speaks of future events and points out as by the finger the evils which were as yet concealed from the view; for he could not otherwise teach with any authority, as he had to do with men of iron hearts. As then he saw that his teaching had no effect, and was wholly disregarded by men so slothful, he felt it necessary to form his style so as to touch their feelings. <\/p>\n On this account he says, that a voice was heard, a voice of wailing from Sion; where yet all exulted with joy. Then he adds, How have we been destroyed! and made greatly ashamed! The Jews thought this a fable, until they found by experience that they had been extremely hard and obstinate: but this really happened. Though they were then indulging in their pleasures, he yet proclaims lamentations to them, as though they were already destroyed: A voice, he says, has been heard, as though the Jews were bewailing the calamity, respecting which they thought the Prophet was fabling, for no danger was yet apparent. <\/p>\n But in order, as I have said, to condemn the hardness of their hearts, he represents them in another character, as bewailing their ruinous condition, and saying, We have left the land; in which however they thought their dwelling would be perpetual; for they boasted that they could never be excluded, as it had been declared, <\/p>\n “<\/p>\n This is my rest for ever, here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.” (Psa 132:14<\/span>.) <\/p>\n As then God had testified that it would be a quiet habitation to his people, they thought that they were fortified by a triple wall and rampart, and that the city was altogether unassailable. But Jeremiah represents them as saying, that they had left their own land, that is, that they had been drawn and driven into exile. Then he adds, because they have cast us out This seems to refer to their enemies who had cast them out, that is, pulled down their dwellings. Some take dwellings to be the nominative case to the verb, “ Our dwellings have cast us out. ” (252) But the first meaning reads better: I therefore consider the sense to be simply this, — that they were cast out and that their houses were destroyed by their enemies. It follows — <\/p>\n (252) The true version is that given by Blaney and approved by Horsley, — <\/p>\n Because they have thrown down our habitations. <\/p>\n The ancient versions differ, but none give the meaning of our version, which is that of Junius and Tremelius. The whole verse is in the past tense: things are represented as having already taken place: — <\/p>\n For the voice of wailing has been heard from Sion, — “How have we been plundered! We have been put to great shame; For we have left the land, For they have thrown down our habitations.” <\/p>\n The people are set forth as assembled in Jerusalem, having been made to quit the land, their dwellings having been pulled down. — Ed. <\/p>\n (19) We have forsaken.<\/strong>Better, we have left. <\/em>The English version suggests a voluntary abandonment, which is not involved in the Hebrew.<\/p>\n Jer 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out.<\/p>\n Ver. 19.

Voice Of wailing is heard is present tense hut is a prediction of things to come though not very far off. Have forsaken and have cast is past or present tense but refers to the exile soon to happen to the kingdom of Judah.<\/p>\n 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we laid waste! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings {o} have cast [us] out.<\/p>\n (o) As though they were weary of us, because of our iniquities, Lev 18:28; Lev 20:22 .<\/p>\n The reason for this mourning was that the residents of Zion would bewail their ruin and shame, in having to leave the land as captives, with their homes destroyed. In Jeremiah, "Zion" is primarily Jerusalem seen as the dwelling place of God (cf. Jer 8:19).<\/p>\n For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out. 19.
