They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
The verse foretells a lament over the breasts, the pleasant fields and the fruitful vine because the fertility of the land is taken away in judgment. That loss turns the country into a place of barrenness where what once gave nourishment and delight no longer yields its increase. The desolation seen in Galilee stands as the visible fulfillment of this foretold judgment upon the land.
