Verse 30
Lam 3:30 He giveth [his] cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
Ver. 30. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him. ] Humility, the product of affliction sanctified, is still at her lesson, or rather practising what she hath learned. David, having suffered by Absalom, can well enough bear with Shimei’s tongue smitings; and the apostles, after they had been in prison, departed from the council, rejoicing that they were so far graced as to be disgraced for the name of Jesus. Act 5:41
He is filled full of reproach. ] He can bravely bear all contumelies and contempts for his conscience, taking them as crowns and confirmations of his conformity to Christ.
