耶利米哀歌 4:21-22 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Lamentations 4:21-22

David's psalms of lamentation commonly conclude with some word of comfort, which is as life from the dead and light shining out of darkness; so does this lamentation here in this chapter. The people of God are now in great distress, their aspects all doleful, their prospects all frightful, and their ill-natured neighbours the Edomites insult over them and do all they can to exasperate their destroyers against them. Such was their violence against their brother Jacob (Obad. 1:10), such their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 4:21

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom ,.... The land of Idumea, and the inhabitants of it, who did indeed rejoice at the destruction of Jerusalem, Obadiah 1:12 ; and here, in an ironic manner, are bid to go on with their mirth, if they could, like the young man in Ecclesiastes 11:9 , as Aben Ezra observes; for it would not last long, their note would soon be changed: that dwellest in the land of Uz ; not the country of Job, which had its name from Uz the son of Nahor, Job 1:1 ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Lamentations 4:22

The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion ,.... In part in the seventy years' captivity in Babylon, and more fully in their present captivity; for, as has been observed, there are some things in the preceding account, which had a further accomplishment in the destruction of Jerusalem, and the distress of the Jews by the Romans. The Targum is, "and after thine iniquity is fulfilled, O congregation of Zion, and thou shalt be delivered by the hands of the Messiah,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 4:21

Rejoice and be Lad, O daughter of Edom - A strong irony. The cup also shall pass through unto thee - Thou who hast triumphed in our disasters shalt shortly have enough of thy own. They had joined themselves to the Chaldeans, (see Psalm 137:7 ;), and therefore they should share in the desolations of Babylon. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 4:22

The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion - On the contrary: Rejoice, O Jerusalem, for thy captivity will soon end; thy sufferings are nearly completed; thou shalt soon return to thy own land: but he will visit thy iniquity, O Edom; he will discover thy sins. When sin is pardoned it is said to be covered: here, God says he will not cover the sins of Edom - he will not pardon them; they shall drink the cup of wrath. The promise in this last verse may refer to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 4:21

Verse 21 The Prophet in this verse intimates that the Jews were exposed to the reproaches and taunts of all their enemies, but he immediately moderates their sorrow, by adding a consolation; and it was a sorrow that in itself must have been very bitter; for we know that nothing’ is harder to bear, in a state of misery, than the petulant insults of enemies; these wound us more than all other evils which we may suffer. The Prophet then intimates, that the Jews had been so reduced, that all the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 4:22

Verse 22 This verse, in my judgment, is incorrectly explained; and the Jews have toiled much, for there seems to be a kind of inconsistency, since it is certain that they were afterwards scattered into exile, not only once, but several times. Hence they interpret this place of the second dispersion by Titus, under the authority of his father Vespasian. They then say that the iniquity of the people was then completed, for after that exile no change has followed. Otherwise they do not think that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 4:21

Rejoice and be glad. An ironical address to Edom, who is bidden to enjoy her malicious triumph, but warned that it will be but short lived. How ungenerously the Edomites behaved at the fall of Jerusalem we are repeatedly told (see on Jeremiah 49:7 ). In the land of Uz. As to the situation of Uz, see on Jeremiah 25:20 . The cup; one of Jeremiah's images (see Jeremiah 25:15 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 4:22

The punishment of thine iniquity or, thy guilt (see on Lamentations 4:6 ). The prophet speaks with the confidence of faith, and sees the guilt wiped away, and the danger of a future captivity removed by the purification which the Jewish national character has undergone. He will discover thy sins. God is said to "cover over" sins when he remits their punishment, and to "discover" them when he punishes them (comp. Job 20:27 , Job 20:28 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 4:22

The end of punishment. Here is a gleam of prophetic hope. From doleful lamentations the poet is able to look forward and see the end of the sad desolation of Jerusalem. I. PUNISHMENT HAS AN END . Nothing is everlasting but God, and the life which God gives and the goodness of that life. Evil, darkness, pain, and death are temporal phases of being. This may seem to many an unjustifiably dogmatic statement. Text for text we may find passages of Scripture to support it and to... read more
