Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 3:21-36
21-36 Having stated his distress and temptation, the prophet shows how he was raised above it. Bad as things are, it is owing to the mercy of God that they are not worse. We should observe what makes for us, as well as what is against us. God's compassions fail not; of this we have fresh instances every morning. Portions on earth are perishing things, but God is a portion for ever. It is our duty, and will be our comfort and satisfaction, to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the... read more

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

The qualities of the portion.(1) It is suitable.(2) It is adequate.(3) It is enduring. ‘Flesh and heart shall faint and fail, but He is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.’ read more
Peter Pett
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
