“Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.”
The prophecy that mourning shall be in all the public squares and all the vineyards indicates universal lamentation following military defeat. The scope of mourning emphasizes the totality of destruction.
