Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 3:25-26

"Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground." — Isaiah 3:25-26 (ASV)

Your men ... her gates ... (Isaiah 3:26) — The feminine pronoun in both verses points to the daughter of Zion as representing her many daughters. As in Lamentations 1:1, and as in the JUDÆA CAPTA medals that commemorated the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, she is represented as sitting on the ground desolate and afflicted.
