The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 1:18

The righteousness of God confessed. I. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AS A FACT . 1 . What it is. In its fulness and breadth it is the goodness of God, his sinlessness, his pure and holy character. But it has characteristics of more special importance. Righteousness in God is conformity with truth, justice, and honour. It means that God has no subtle double dealing, but acts in perfect integrity. He moves in straight lines. Further, it means that God is fair to all, doing, if... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 1:18

The Lord is righteous In nothing is the distinction more marked between religions of human origin and device and the religion which is the revelation of infinite Wisdom and Truth, than in the views they respectively afford of the moral character and attributes of Deity. Whilst the heathen freely attribute to their gods qualities which are detestable in man, the Scriptures represent the Supreme as perfectly righteous. The acknowledgment here made by Jeremiah was made by Moses, by Nehemiah,... read more

The acknowledgment that suffering is deserved. I. THE CLEAR RECOGNITION ON THE PART OF THOSE VISITED THAT THE SUFFERING WAS OF JEHOVAH 'S BRINGING . Secondary causes were prominent, but behind them was a Divine cause most important to be perceived in all the intensity of its working. Those who desolated Jerusalem did so from the worst of motives, motives always to be condemned; and these motives, keenly inspiring as they were, would have ended in nothing... read more

My bowels. The vital parts, especially the heart, as the seat of the affections, like σπλάγχνα . Are troubled; literally, are made to boil. So Job 30:27 , "My bowels boil" (a different word, however). Is turned; or, turns itself; i.e. palpitates violently. At home there is as death . So Jeremiah 9:21 , "For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces." By "death," when distinguished, as here, from "the sword," pestilence is meant; so e.g. in ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 1:20

The cry of the contrite. Trouble, when it leads to an inquiry into its cause, when it prompts to submission and to repentance, proves a means of grace. The cry of suffering and distress may have no moral significance; the cry of contrition and of supplication is a sign of spiritual impression, and is a step towards spiritual recovery. I. THE OCCASION OF AFFLICTION AND CONTRITION . This is here specified, and the reality and severity are manifest. Within, i.e. in the homes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 1:21

Thou wilt bring . The Hebrew has, "Thou hast brought;" it is the perfect of prophetic certitude, which represents an event certainly foreseen as if it had already taken place. Ewald, however, takes this to be the precative, a variety of the perfect which certainly exists in Arabic, but has not been quite satisfactorily shown to exist in Hebrew. But very probably we should read, with the Septuagint," Thou wilt bring the day; thou wilt call the fit time." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 1:21

A wicked gladness. I. THE WRONG FEELING WITH REGARD TO SUFFERING FOR SIN . People are here represented as rejoicing over the sufferings of others. Not that they take delight in suffering as suffering, but those who suffered were their enemies. Those now suffering had once inflicted suffering on others. They had been a source of danger, provoking jealousy, and producing humiliation. Hence, when Israel fell into all this solitude and misery, other peoples not only failed to... read more

The lamentation of the city, personified as a woman in grief over her fate.Lamentations 1:13It prevaileth - Or, hath subdued.He hath turned me back - Judaea, like a hunted animal, endeavors to escape, but finds every outlet blocked by nets, and recoils from them with terror and a sense of utter hopelessness.Lamentations 1:14Bound by his hand - As the plowman binds the yoke upon the neck of oxen, so God compels Judah to bear the punishment of her sins.They are wreathed, and ... - Or, they are... read more
