‏ Lamentations 1:2

2. in the night--even in the night, the period of rest and oblivion of griefs (Job 7:3).

lovers ... friends--the heathen states allied to Judah, and their idols. The idols whom she "loved" (Jr 2:20-25) could not comfort her. Her former allies would not: nay, some "treacherously" joined her enemies against her (2Ki 24:2, 7; Psa 137:7).

Gimel.
