Sion extiende sus manos, no hay quien la consuele. El Señor ha ordenado contra Jacob que los que lo rodean sean sus adversarios; Jerusalén se ha vuelto cosa inmunda en medio de ellos.
Si�n extendi� sus manos, no tiene quien la consuele; Jehov� dio mandamiento contra Jacob, que sus enemigos lo rodeasen; Jerusal�n fue como una mujer menstruosa entre ellos.
Pe : Sion extendi� sus manos; no tiene consolador; el SE�OR dio mandamiento contra Jacob, que sus enemigos lo cercasen; Jerusal�n fue en abominaci�n entre ellos.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Zion spreadeth forth her hands,.... Either as submitting to the conqueror, and imploring mercy; or rather as calling to her friends to help and relieve her. The Targum is,
"Zion spreadeth out her hands through distress, as a woman spreads out her hands upon the seat to bring forth;''
see Jeremiah 4:31. Some render the words, "Zion breaks with her hands" f; that is, breaks bread; and Joseph Kimchi observes, that it was the custom of comforters to break bread to the mourner; but here she herself breaks it with her hands, because there was none to comfort her:
[and there is] none to comfort her; to speak a word of comfort to her, or to help her out of her trouble; her children gone into captivity; her friends and lovers at a distance; and God himself departed from her; Jeremiah 4:31- :;
the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, [that] his adversaries [should be] round about him; that he should be surrounded by them, and carried captive, and should be in the midst of them in captivity: this was the decree and determination of God; and, agreeably to it, he ordered it in his providence that the Chaldeans should come against him, encompass him, and overcome him; and that because he had slighted and broken the commandments of the Lord; and therefore was justly dealt with, as is acknowledged in Lamentations 1:18. So the Targum,
"the Lord gave to the house of Jacob commandments, and a law to keep, but they transgressed the decree of his word; therefore his enemies encompassed the house of Jacob round about:''
Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them; reckoned filthy and unclean, abominable and nauseous; whom none cared to come near, but shunned, despised, and abhorred; as the Jews separated from the Gentiles, and would not converse with them; so neither now would the Chaldeans with the Jews; but treat them as the offscouring of all things.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Spreadeth forth her hands - In prayer Exodus 9:29, Exodus 9:33, but Zion entreats in vain. There is no one to comfort her - not God, for He is chastising her, nor man, for all the neighboring nations have become her enemies. See Lamentations 1:2.
That his adversaries ... - Rather, that those round about him should be his adversaries; all the neighboring states should regard him with aversion.
Jerusalem is ... - i. e. is become an abomination. The words are virtually the same as in Lamentations 1:8.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 17. Zion spreadeth forth her hands — Extending the hands is the form in supplication.
Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman — To whom none dared to approach, either to help or comfort, because of the law, Leviticus 15:19-27.
