Lamentações de Jeremias 3:22-23 NVIPT

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Lamentations 3:19-39

God's Mercy and Power Revealed v. 19. Remembering, or, "Remember," mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall, the sufferings about which he has just complained so bitterly. v. 20. My soul hath them still in remembrance and is humbled in me, still bowed down, as under a heavy weight. v. 21. This, namely, the fact that his soul is deeply afflicted by the mere remembrance of his sufferings, I recall to my mind, taking it to heart, therefore have I hope. Throwing off the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Lamentations 3:1-66

3The Middle Song Constituting The Climax Of The Poem: Israel’s Brighter Day Of Consolation Contrasted With The Gloomy Night Of Sorrow Experienced By The Servant Of God [as Represented By Jeremiah Himself]This Song, which as the third one of the five holds the middle place, is the culmination point of the whole book, and thus affords a strong argument for the opinion, that the whole book is constructed on one carefully considered plan. It is the culmination point, both as to its matter and as to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Lamentations 3:1-66

In this central and longest poem, Jeremiah identified himself completely with the experiences of his people. In the first movement, in language which throbs with pain, he described his own sorrows, recognizing through all the action of Jehovah, as the almost monotonous repetition of the pronoun "He" reveals. Here he most evidently recognized the relation of sorrow to sin. All the intermediate instruments of punishment are out of sight. Every stroke falls from the hand of God, as the opening... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:22

SHADOW AND SUNSHINE‘The wormwood and the gall … the Lord’s mercies.’ Lamentations 3:19; Lamentations 3:22 I. Speaking for himself, the prophet personifies his people ( Lamentations 3:1-Ecclesiastes :).—His description of the miseries through which they were passing is very pitiful—the wrinkled skin, the broken bones, the darkness as of the grave, the lofty walls that encompassed them, the penetration of the sharp arrows into their flesh, the derision of the people, the grit of the coarse... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:22-23

‘NEW EVERY MORNING’ The Lord’s mercies … are new every morning. Lamentations 3:22-Isaiah : In the classical myths, Tithonus, a son of Laomedon, king of Troy, was so fair and winsome a youth that Eos, or Aurora, goddess of the morning, fell in love with him, and therefore prayed the gods to grant him immortality, in order that she might have him as her husband always. Her request was granted; but in asking immortality for Tithonus, Eos did not also ask eternal youth for him, hence he grew old... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 3:19-39

The Prophet Prays His Way Through To Confidence In YHWH (Lamentations 3:19-39 ). When our souls have reached their lowest point there is only one thing to do, and that is to cast ourselves on God. That is what the prophet now does. He remembers past times of affliction and misery and how God has kept him through them, and this gives him the confidence that he can hope in God again. Lamentations 3:19-21 (Zayin) Remember my affliction and my misery, The wormwood and the gall. (Zayin) My soul... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 3:1-66

Lamentations 3. The Third Lament.— Here it is the singer that comes chiefly to the front; whereas in Lamentations 3:1 it had been Zion, and in Lamentations 3:2 it was Yahweh. EV hardly puts Lamentations 3:1 forcibly enough: it should read, “ It is I, even I the strong man, who know now, alas, what abasement means.” The chant is artistically more clever than Lamentations 3:1 and Lamentations 3:2, but its heart is not so great. In form it has a cunning device all its own; for the first stanza... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 3:22

Mercy is nothing else but love flowing freely from any to persons in misery, and differs from compassion only in the freeness of the emanation. It is not because God had not power enough utterly to have consumed us, nor because we had not guilt enough to have provoked his justice to have put an end to our lives, as well as to the lives of many thousands of our countrymen, but it is merely from the Lord’s free love and pity to us in our miseries. If God had not a blessing in store for us, how is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 3:23

These compassions of God are renewed day by day, to declare the great faithfulness of God in fulfilling his many promises made for mercy to his people. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Lamentations 3:22-24

EXEGETICAL NOTES.— (ח) Lamentations 3:22. The hopefulness which had begun to lift a desponding soul points to the ground on which it may become secure. Its hazy outlook is seeming to clear, and, as in all true ideas of human relationship to God, that which is felt as a privilege for the individual is regarded to be a privilege for all souls also who seek the Lord. One voices the confession of the remnant of Israel thus: Jehovah’s mercies, not in one form, but in many forms they affect men, and,... read more
