Jeremiah 10:19 - Exposition

It is rather doubtful (as in the parallel passage, Jeremiah 4:19-21 ) whether the speaker here is the prophet, or "the daughter of my people," who, in Jeremiah 6:26 , is called upon to "make most bitter lamentation." Of course, the prophet cannot dissociate himself from his people; and we rosy therefore, perhaps, consider both references united. Hurt ; literally, breach ; a term so used for political calamities. A grief ; rather, my grief ; but "grief" is meant to include both physical and mental sufferings (literally, my sickness ).
