Lam 3:1-20
Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
Back to Lamentations.
- The faithful lament their calamities, and hope in God's mercies.
1-20 The prophet relates the more gloomy and discouraging part of his experience, and how he found support and relief. In the time of his trial the Lord had become terrible to him. It was an affliction that was misery itself; for sin makes the cup of affliction a bitter cup. The struggle between unbelief and faith is often very severe. But the weakest believer is wrong, if he thinks that his strength and hope are perished from the Lord.
