耶利米哀歌 3:21-24 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:22-23

The unceasing mercies of God. It would seem, according to the best authorities, that we ought to read the first of these two verses thus: "The Lord's mercies, verily they cease not, surely his compassions fail not." Thus we are assured of the enduring character of God's mercies. How striking is this assurance, coming where it does after monstrous dirges of despair! In the Lamentations we meet with one of the richest confessions of faith in the goodness of God. The black clouds are not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:22-23

The unfailing compassions of Jehovah. Here indeed is a full retractation of the reckless falsehood recorded in Lamentations 3:18 . He who had hinted that God was a Destroyer, that he delighted, as it were, in reducing his children to despair, is now found glorying in the same God as the great Preserver, the one effectual Guardian of man's existence and peace. I. NOTE THE DESTROYING POWERS THAT BESET HUMAN LIFE . God's mercies are the only guarantee against our being... read more

New every morning. Human life abounds in novelties. It is made up of experiences which combine novelty and repetition. But the mercies of the Eternal are ever new; no day breaks which does not open up some new prospect of Divine faithfulness and loving kindness towards the children of men. I. THE SAME MERCIES ARE REPEATED AFRESH . Because a gift of God resembles a previous gift, it does not, therefore, fail in being a new proof of Divine beneficence and favour. The most... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:24

The secret of hope. The reader of the psalms is familiar with the utterance, "The Lord is my Portion." The characteristic peculiarity of the adoption of this confession of faith by the sufferer of the Lamentations is his taking it as a ground of hope. The present is so dark that he can have little joy even in God. Earthly things are so unpropitious that he can hope little from them. But with God for his Portion he can look forward from the troubles of the present and the threatenings of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:24

The Portion of the godly. When the land of promise was divided among the tribes of Israel, no inheritance was assigned to one of the number, viz. the tribe of Levi. It appeared good to Divine wisdom that the consecrated and sacerdotal tribe should be distributed among the population, and that a regular provision should be made for their maintenance. To reconcile the Levites to their lot, it was declared to them by Jehovah himself that he was their Portion. The language here appropriated by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:24

Those who have Jehovah for their Portion. I. EVERY MAN HAS HIS PORTION . That which is his capital, which constitutes his resources, and out of which he has to build up the results of his life. It was only natural that an Israelite should make a great deal of portions . Israel had a portion, divinely secured and wonderfully packed with the raw materials of wealth. Each tribe had its portion, given by lot, so that there was no ground of complaint, and so to each household in due... read more

This I recall - Rather, “This will I bring back to my heart, therefore will I hope.” Knowing that God hears the prayer of the contrite, he begins again to hope. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Lamentations 3:22

Verses 22-42 are the center of the present poem, as it also holds the central place in the whole series of the Lamentations. In them the riches of God’s grace and mercy are set forth in the brightest colors, but no sooner are they ended than the prophet resumes the language of woe.That we - He is speaking as the representative of all sufferers. read more
