Lamentations 1:16 - Exposition
For these things, etc. After the reflections of Lamentations 1:13-15 , the poet gives vent anew to his hitter grief. Mine eye, mine eye. A repetition quite in Jeremiah's manner; comp. Jeremiah 4:19 ; Jeremiah 6:14 (repeated Jeremiah 8:11 ); Jeremiah 22:29 ; Jeremiah 23:25 . The Septuagint and Vulgate, however, have "mine eye" only once. Relieve my soul (see on Jeremiah 23:11 ).
