Lamentations 5:11
Compare all
9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives,
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
Because of the fever of famine.
11 They aravished the women in Zion,
The maidens in the cities of Judah. 
12 Princes were hung up by their hands,
And elders were not respected.
13 Young men aground at the millstones;
Boys staggered under loads of wood. 
14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate,
And the young men from their amusic. 
15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into amourning. 
16 aThe crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!

No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Lamentations 5:11.

Lamentations 5:10-15

But the revival did not last, and as we know, Jerusalem was later destroyed by the Chaldeans, and the surviving Jews were carried off. We will see a snapshot of Jerusalem's fall in the book of Lamentations. It is not pleasant, but it exemplifies what happens when God hides His face and allows His people to become prey because they have forsaken Him.

Those verses don't need much commentary, but the parallels with October 7 are obvious.
