[NCE]428. The contents of this verse and the next show clearly that Lamech symbolizes devastation, since it says that he killed a man and a little child, and that Cain will be avenged seven times, and Lamech seventy-seven times.
Potts(1905-1910) 428
428. From the contents of this and the following verse, it is very evident that by "Lamech" is signified vastation; for he says that he had "slain a man" and a "little child" and that Cain should be avenged sevenfold, and Lamech "seventy and sevenfold."
Elliott(1983-1999) 428

Latin(1748-1756) 428
428. Ex his quae in hoc versu, et ex iis quae in sequente, manifeste constat quod per 'Lamechum' significetur vastatio, nam dicit quod 'occiderit virum, et parvulum,' et quod 'septempliciter vindicabitur Cain, et Lamech septuagies septies.'
