Neighbors’ feast of refuge emptied by wrath
Those dwelling round about me, she says, in Judea were thinking the feast unto me a refuge, hoping salvation from there; of whom none has been left because of your wrath brought upon them. For through the things in which I sinned, the enemies have become many and powerful.

Klagel. Jerem. 2, 22. Οἱ κύκλῳ μου, φησί, τὴν Ἰουδαίαν οἰκοῦντες τὴν εἰς ἐμὲ ἐορτὴν ἐνόμιζον καταφυγήν, σωτηρίαν ἐντεῦθεν ἐλπίζοντες· ὡν οὐδεὶς ὑπολέλειπται διὰ τὴν σὴν αὐτοῖς ἐπενεχθεῖσαν ὀργήν. δι΄ ὡν γὰρ ἥμαρτον, πολλοὶ καὶ δυνατοὶ γεγόνασιν οἱ ἐχθροί.
