Lamentações de Jeremias 3:22-36 NVIPT

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:31

For the Lord will not cast off for ever. Which is not to be understood of all his creatures; for there are some he does cast off for ever, as the angels that sinned; reprobate men, profligate and abandoned sinners, that live and die impenitent; and unbelievers, carnal professors, and apostates; but not his own special and peculiar people, the people whom he has foreknown and loved with an everlasting love, his spiritual Israel; or, as the Targum supplies it, "his servants"; see Psalm 94:14 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:32

But though he cause grief ,.... As he sometimes does in his own people; by convincing them of sin, and producing in them godly sorrow, which worketh repentance unto life, not to be repented of; by correcting and chastising them for it, and by hiding his face from them; all which are grievous to them: yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies ; his mercies are many, both temporal and spiritual, and his compassion is answerable; which he shows to his people by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:33

For he doth not afflict willingly ,.... Or, "from his heart" F5 מלבו "ex corde suo", Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin. ; he does afflict; for all afflictions are from God, but they do not come from the mere motion of his heart, or are the effects of his sovereign will and pleasure, as the good things he bestows upon his people do, without any respect to any cause or occasion in them; but sin is the cause and occasion of these, as Jarchi well observes: it is with reluctance the Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:34

To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth. These words, with what follow in Lamentations 3:35 ; either depend upon the preceding, and are to be connected with them, "he doth not afflict", &c.; Lamentations 3:33 ; though he lays his hand on men, he do not crush them under his feet, or break them in pieces, and utterly destroy them, even such, and all such, as are bound in affliction and iron; or, in a spiritual sense, such as are prisoners to sin, Satan, and the law, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:35

To turn aside the right of a man ,.... The Targum is, of a poor man; not to do him justice in a court of judicature; to cause judgment to incline to the wrong side; to give the cause against a man, to give a wrong sentence; this is disapproved of by the Lord, and forbidden by him: before the face of the most High ; either before the most high God, he being present and among the gods, the judges, when they pass sentence; and yet, to pass a wrong one in his presence, without any regard to... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:36

To subvert a man in his cause ,.... A poor man, as the Targum, which aggravates it; as by courses and methods taken in an open court, so by secret underhand ways, to get the cause from him, and injure him in his property: the Lord approveth not ; or, "seeth not" F7 לא ראה "non vidit, vel videt", Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin. ; which some understand as spoken by wicked men, who do the above things, and flatter themselves that God sees not, and takes no notice of them, Ezekiel 9:9... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 3:22

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed - Being thus humbled, and seeing himself and his sinfulness in a proper point of view, he finds that God, instead of dealing with him in judgment, has dealt with him in mercy; and that though the affliction was excessive, yet it seas less than his iniquity deserved. If, indeed, any sinner be kept out of hell, it is because God's compassion faileth not. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 3:23

They are new every morning - Day and night proclaim the mercy and compassion of God. Who could exist throughout the day, if there were not a continual superintending Providence? Who could be preserved in the night, if the Watchman of Israel ever slumbered or slept? read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 3:26

It is good that a man should both hope - Hope is essentially necessary to faith; he that hopes not, cannot believe; if there be no expectation, there can be no confidence. When a man hopes for salvation, he should not only waft for it, but use every means that may lead to it; for hope cannot live, if there be no exercise. If hope become impatient, faith will be impossible: for who can believe for his salvation when his mind is agitated? He must therefore quietly wait. He must expect, and yet... read more
