Ang hininga ng aming mga ilong, ang pinahiran ng Walang-Hanggan, ay nahuli sa kanilang mga hukay; siya na aming sinabi: “Sa ilalim ng kanyang lilim ay mabubuhay kami sa gitna ng mga bansa.”

“The breath of our nostrils” [4:20]. The spirit of our Messiah; this is king Josiah who was subdued in their pits. We said that because of his merit, we were protected from the hands of the enemy.26Rashi, Lamentations, 4:20.
Rashi
Adonoy’s anointed. That is Yoshiyahu, as it is stated in Divrei Hayomim, “And Yirmiyahu lamented over Yoshiyahu.”28II Divrei Hayomim 35:25. See Maseches Ta’anis 22b. Alternatively, ‘Adonoy’s appointed’ refers to Tzidkiyahu king of Yehudah who was blinded and carried off to Bavel in chains by the people of Kasdim.
