耶利米哀歌 1:12 CUNPTS

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Lamentations 1:1-22

Lamentation Of The Daughter Of Zion Over The Ruin Of Jerusalem And Judah [or Rather, The Lamentation Of The Daughter Of Jerusalem Over The Destruction Of The City, The Nation And The Temple.—W. H. H.].[The song is naturally divided into two parts of equal length. Lamentations 1:1-11 describe the wretched condition of the city. Lamentations 1:12-22 are, more strictly, the lamentation over this condition. In both sections the speaker is the ideal person of the genius or daughter of the city, who... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Lamentations 1:1-22

In the Septuagint, the Lamentations are prefixed with the words, "And it came to pass that after Israel had been carried away captive, and Jerusalem made desolate, Jeremiah sat weeping, and lamented this lament over Jerusalem and said. . . ." In this brief Book of Lamentation the spirit of the man is strikingly revealed. There is no exultation over the fulfilment of his predictions, and there is a twofold loyalty manifest throughout, first to God in the confession of sin, and then to his... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 1:12

SORROW UNPARALLELED‘See if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow.’ Lamentations 1:12 I. The full instruction of the Lamentations of Jeremiah can be understood only by a consideration of the previous state and position of the prophet himself.—Joyous, hopeful, and confident, are the words of Isaiah; but the language of Jeremiah is just the reverse. He lived at a time when his country was polluted by corruption and sin; when the throne of Judah had long been held by monarchs unworthy to occupy... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 1:1-22

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. It has two equal parts: Lamentations 1:1-1 Kings : (Aleph to Kaph), the singer’ s account of Zion’ s sorrows, and Lamentations 1:12-Song of Solomon : (Lamedh to Tau), a soliloquy thereon by the city herself. In detail: Lamentations 1:1-Joshua : tells of a Zion once populous, now widowed; her nights full of weeping, unconsoled by former lovers... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:12

The prophet speaks in the name of the Jewish church, as a woman in misery sitting by the way-side, and calling to passengers that came by to have compassion on her, suggesting to them that her affliction was no ordinary affliction, nor the effect of a common and ordinary providence, but the effect of the Lord’s fierce anger, a most severe punishment. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Lamentations 1:12-17

EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Lamentations 1:12-22. These verses form the second section of the poem. The city is represented as complaining of its harassed condition, 12–16, and then as acknowledging her persistent sin in sight of her righteous Lord, who will deal out justice to all transgressors, 17–22.(ל) Lamentations 1:12. The curtness of the opening Hebrew phrase causes doubt as to its proper explanation. Hence by some it is taken as an address to the wayfarers, and is paraphrased in words like, “I... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Lamentations 1:1-22

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the book of Lamentations.The book of Lamentations in the Hebrew Bible does not appear in the same place that it appears in our Bibles. In the Hebrew Bible it appears with a group of books: Esther, and Ruth, Job, and Ezra. It was written by Jeremiah, and that is why in our Bibles they inserted it after the book of Jeremiah, because it is almost sort of an epilogue to the book of Jeremiah, in that it follows the destruction of the city of Jerusalem.There is on... read more
