Lam 1:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15 : "The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress." Jerusalem’s defenders are defeated, not by chance, but by the LORD’s decree. Her strongest are trampled down, her young men crushed as grapes in a winepress. The image is one of total defeat and humiliation—God Himself has pressed out her strength and hope .
