Lamentations 3:6

He hath set me in dark places ,.... In the dark house of the prison, as the Targum; in the dark dungeon where the prophet was put; or the captivity in which the Jews were, and which was like the dark grave or state of the dead; and hence they are said to be in their graves, Ezekiel 37:12 . Christ was laid in the dark grave literally:

as they that be dead of old : that have been long dead, and are forgotten, as if they had never been; see Psalm 88:5 ; or, "as the dead of the world" F6 כמתי עולם ως νεκρους αιωνος , Sept. "quasi mortuos seculi", Montanus, Calvin. , or age; who, being dead, are gone out of the world, and no more in it. The Targum is,

"as the dead who go into another world.'
