Pulpit Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) They have made it desolate.--The Hebrew is impersonal. "One has made it . . . ," i.e., it is made desolate. As in other poetry of strong emotion, the prophet dwells with a strange solemn iteration on the same sound--"desolate," "desolate," "desolate"--thrice in the same breath. The Hebrew word shemama, so uttered, must have sounded like a wail of lamentation.Because no man layeth it to heart.--Better, no man laid it . . . The neglect of the past was bearing fruit in the misery of the present.
