Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 4:21

The Edomites were descended from Esau the elder brother of Jacob, and dwelled in a part of Arabia that obtained the name of Uz, probably from Uz the son of Dishan, who descended from Seir, Genesis 36:20,Genesis 36:28; they, out of their old hatred to the Jews, rejoiced at their ruin, as we learn from the prophecy of Obadiah, who upon this account was sent to prophesy against them: the prophet here ironically saith, Rejoice, in the same sense as, Ecclesiastes 11:9, Solomon bids the young man... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 4:22

O Judea, thy punishment is past, but the punishment of Edom is yet to come. The Jews were to abide many years in captivity, but they were now suffering their last punishment from the Chaldeans, they were only for some years to continue in that state of captives. He will no more carry thee into captivity; after thy term of captivity shall be expired, thou shalt not for thy old sins suffer any more punishment. Not that their present captivity should be all their punishment in case they went on in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Lamentations 4:21-22

EXEGETICAL NOTES.— (ש) Lamentations 4:21. The children of Edom had exulted over the destruction of Jerusalem, and urgently culled for its completeness. They said, Rase it, rate it, even to the foundations thereof (Psalms 137:7). Now they are addressed in bitter irony, Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, take a full measure of your malicious joy, but with all that your triumphing will be short; you cannot escape pungent woes, however extended your territory may be, that dwellest in the land... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Lamentations 4:1-22

Chapter 4The fourth lamentation:How is the gold become dim! the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street. The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, and they give suck to their young ones ( Lamentations 4:1-3 ):The mammals in the sea nurse their little ones.the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Lamentations 4:1-22

Lamentations 4:1-2 . How is the gold, זהב zahab, so called because of its superior lustre to other metals, now become dim. Gold does not oxidize, and scarcely receives a tarnish; yet the rulers and priests have degenerated into base mixtures; and so much so, as to be vile as the potter’s vessels. Lamentations 4:3 . Even the sea-monsters, תנין tinnin, draw out the breast. Our elder critics, less acquainted with natural history, read “dragons,” serpents of the larger species. But as... read more

Rejoice and be glad. ] This is spoken to Edom by a certain ironic and bitter concession - q.d., Do so if thou hast any mind to it; but thou shalt soon be made to change thy cheer.
