The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:27

In his youth. The thought of this verse reminds us of Psalms 119:71 . Youth is mentioned as the time when it is easier to adapt one's self to circumstances, and when discipline is most readily accepted. The words do not prove that the writer is young, any more than Psalms 119:9 and Psalms 119:100 of Psalms 119:1-176 . prove that the psalmist was an aged man (against this view, see Psalms 119:84-87 ). There is no occasion, therefore, for the textual alteration (for as such I cannot... read more

Youth. I. THE YOKE BELONGS TO YOUTH . It is common to hear youth spoken of as a time of pleasure. Older people do their best to damp the joyousness of the young by telling them that these are their happy days, soon will come the dark days of trouble, let them enjoy the bright time while it lasts. Even if such a view of life were correct, the wisdom of thrusting it forward is not easy to discover. Why spoil the feast by pointing to the sword of Damocles? Why direct the walk on a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:27

The yoke in youth. This is not a welcome lesson. It is natural to all, and especially the young, to resist authority, to defy restraint, to resent punishment. As the young ox has to be brought under the yoke, as the young horse has to be accustomed to the bit and the bridle, the harness and the saddle, so the young must learn the practical and valuable lesson of endurance and submission. I. IN HUMAN LIFE A YOKE IS IMPOSED UPON ALL . In some cases it is easier and in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:27

The discipline of youth. Remember how early Jeremiah was called to prophesy. He says at the beginning, "Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child" ( Jeremiah 1:6 ). He had to bear the yoke in his youth, and doubtless this did much to fit him for a useful and well controlled life afterwards. The comparison, of course, is plain. An ox might be put under the yoke when quite young, and then, though the restraint would be irksome for a while, at last the sense of restraint would... read more

He sitteth alone, etc.; rather, Let him sit alone … let him keep silence ( Lamentations 3:28 )… let him put ( Lamentations 3:29 )… let him give … let him be filled ( Lamentations 3:30 ). The connection is—since it is good for a man to be afflicted, let him sit still, when trouble is sent, and resign himself to bear it. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Lamentations 3:25-27

In these three verses, each beginning in the Hebrew with the word good, we have first the fundamental idea that Yahweh Himself is good, and if good to all, then especially is He so to those who being in adversity can yet wait in confidence upon His mercy.Lamentations 3:26And quietly wait - literally, “and be in silence,” i. e. abstain from all complaining.Lamentations 3:27The yoke - Or, a “yoke.” By bearing a yoke in his youth, i. e. being called upon to suffer in early age, a man learns... read more

Translate:Let him sit alone and keep silence;For He (God) hath laid the yoke upon him.Let him place his mouth in the dust;Perchance there is hope.Let him offer his cheek to him that smiteth him;Let him be filled to the full with reproach.It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth, but only if he bear it rightly. To attain this result, let him learn resignation, remembering who has laid the yoke upon him. This reverential silence is described Lamentations 3:29, as putting the mouth in... read more
