Revelation 14:4. and hath as great a care of, as any man, or woman, of a darling daughter, Chap. 49 15. 16. Zech. 2. 5, 8. the daughter of Zion] That dwelleth in Zion; or, the daughter of Zion, that is, Zion it self; the place for the people, Ch. 1. 8, 27. So afterward, the daughter of Jerusalem, for Jerusalem it self, or her inhabitants, Lamentations 2:13. hath shaken her head] As thou shakedst thine hand in threatning wise at her, Chap. 10. 32. so doth she now her head in scorn and derision at thee, Psalms 22:7. Jeremiah 18:16. at thee] Heb. after thee. when thou haddest betaken thy self to thine heels: a secret scoffe at his shamefull flight, vers. 37. 2 Chronicles 32:21.
