Lamentations 4:22 - The Pulpit Commentary

Lamentations 4:22 - Exposition

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 ).
