"All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us." — Lamentations 3:46 (ASV)
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us .
] Like lions and other beasts of prey, to devour us; or in way of scorn and derision; pouring out their reproaches upon us, and scoffs at us, for our religion, and the worship of God, and on account of present miseries and distresses; see (Lamentations 2:16) . The Targum adds, to decree against us evil decrees.
