Wells of Living Water Commentary - Lamentations 1:1-18

The Lamentations of Jeremiah Lamentations 1:1-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The compassionate Christ. Even now we can, in our imagination, see the Lord Jesus Christ as He wept over Jerusalem. We can hear His mournful words: "If thou hadst known, even thou at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes." Then the Lord went on to tell the things which were about to befall Jerusalem. He prophesied saying: "The days shall come upon thee, that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 1:12-19

Jerusalem Calls On The World To Behold Her Pitiable State (Lamentations 1:12-19 ). Lamentations 1:12 (Lamed) Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold, and see, If there be any sorrow like to my sorrow, Which is brought upon me, With which YHWH has afflicted, In the day of his fierce anger. In words that have moved the hearts of people in many generations Jerusalem calls on the world to pause as they pass by the ruined city and behold her sorrows and afflictions. And then he explains... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 1:12-22

Jerusalem Calls On The World, And Then On YHWH, To Behold Her Condition And Cries To Him For Vengeance (Lamentations 1:12-22 ). This passage can be divided up into two parts, the first in which Jerusalem calls on the world to behold her pitiable state (Lamentations 1:12-19), and the second in which she calls on YHWH to do the same and to avenge her in accordance with what He has promised (Lamentations 1:20-22). The cry for retribution has in mind YHWH’s declaration of His intentions as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 1:20-22

Recognising The Depths Of Her Own Sin Jerusalem Calls On YHWH To Do The Same To Her Enemies Who Are Gloating Over Her As He Has Done To Her, For They Are Equally Sinful. And She Calls On Him To Avenge Her In Accordance With What He Has Promised Through Jeremiah (Lamentations 1:20-22 ). It is a sign of the depths of Jerusalem’s despair that her desire is not for mercy for herself, for she apparently sees that she does not warrant it, but that YHWH will also punish those who are gloating over... read more

Lamentations 1. The First Lament.— This is an alphabetical acrostic poem in twenty-two stanzas of three lines each, with five Heb. beats in each line.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:16

For these sore afflictions, and for my sins that have caused them, and for these impressions of Divine wrath which I discern in them, Lord! I that am thy prophet, and we that are Israelites indeed, weep, and that plentifully; having neither thee present with us as formerly to be our hope or comfort, nor any friend that will deal by us as friends sometimes do by others in swooning fits to fetch back their souls. My children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed; either the other cities of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:17

The same in this verse is meant by Zion, Jacob, and Jerusalem, unless Zion more specially signifieth the Jews considered as a church, because of the temple built upon it. She spreadeth out her hands as in a posture of mourning, and bewailing herself; but she had none that could afford her any comfort. God had commanded concerning the Jews who were descended from Jacob, (their twelve tribes from his twelve sons,) that their enemies should encompass them. They were become loathsome and filthy... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:18

The prophet either directeth those that feared God what they should say, or expresseth what many of them did say in the name of the rest, acknowledging both the Lord’s justice and faithfulness, because they had been disobedient to the commandments of God. Hear, I pray you, & c.; In these words the prophet only personates a passionate woman begging pity of all because her children were taken from her. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:19

I desired help of my allies and confederates who courted my friendship and alliance in any prosperity, but they failed mine expectation, none of them either would or could succour me. My misery was such through the famine, that not only my common people, but those of the best rank in the city, magistrates and priests, fainted as they went along the street seeking bread to satisfy their hunger. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:20

The petition is of the same nature as before, a petition for mercy, as the product of that pity and compassion which extreme misery begets in good souls, (and is ascribed unto God, though found in him in a much more perfect degree, Psalms 78:38; Psalms 86:15; Psalms 111:4) through the eyes affecting the heart. The argument the prophet useth is drawn from the misery this people was now in, which he expresseth metaphorically, telling us their bowels were troubled, their heart turned, signifying... read more
