Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
All Commentaries on Lamentations 1:12 Go To Lamentations 1

all you- the saints.
pass by- not having a permanent abode here; quickly.
the way- Christ; I am the way, and the truth, and the life; of virtues.
attend- with compassionate heart.
and see- with the intention of charity.
to my sorrow- Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?; I have lost heaven for corporeal goods.
vintage of me- by the goods of virtue; he who ought to defend; or he will make a vintage; through the Chaldeans or the Romans.
