Blasphemy. The enemy insults over us (Calmet) and over God. (Haydock) Birth. Hebrew, "the mouth of the womb. "(Vatable) This comparison shows the utmost distress to which the people of Jerusalem were reduced. Any great anguish is denoted by a woman in travail, Deuteronomy ii. 25., and Psalm xlvii. 7.

(Menochius) Without courage, all hope of escaping is lost. (Du Hamel)
