Addressed to the daughter of Zion, in her consternation at the approach of the Chaldeans.
is there no king in thee?—asked tauntingly. There is a king in her; but it is the same as if there were none, so helpless to devise means of escape are he and his counsellors [MAURER]. Or, Zion's pains are because her king is taken away from her (Jeremiah 52:9; Lamentations 4:20; Ezekiel 12:13) [CALVIN]. The former is perhaps the preferable view (compare Jeremiah 49:7). The latter, however, describes better Zion's kingless state during her present long dispersion (Hosea 3:4-5).
