Commentary for Lamentations 4:11
כִּלָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֶת־חֲמָת֔וֹ שָׁפַ֖ךְ חֲר֣וֹן אַפּ֑וֹ וַיַּצֶּת־אֵ֣שׁ בְּצִיּ֔וֹן וַתֹּ֖אכַל יְסוֹדֹתֶֽיהָ׃ (ס)
The LORD hath accomplished His fury, He hath poured out His fierce anger; And He hath kindled a fire in Zion, Which hath devoured the foundations thereof.
Rashi on Lamentations
Adonoy spent His wrath. Which burned in Him for many years.17God’s fury is compared to a ‘consuming fire’ as in Eichah 2:3 above; also see Devorim 4:24. He now spent it when He avenged Himself upon them.
