Lamentations 5:15

“The joy of our heart is ceased, etc.] ward joy was gone, as well as the external signs of it: it “sabbatized” f143, as it may be rendered; alluding perhaps to the cordial joy expressed formerly on their sabbaths and other festivals, now not observed; at least, not with that joy, inward and outward, they formerly were: our dance is turned into mourning; which also was used at their solemn feasts, as well as at their common diversions, (<072121>Judges 21:21); but now no more of that; but, instead of it, mourning at the calamities they were oppressed with; and at the remembrance of mercies and privileges, civil and religious, they were deprived of.”

“our dance: Psa 30:11; Amo 6:4-7, Amo 8:10; Jam 4:9, Jam 4:10 Lamentations 5:16”
