Lamentations 3:4 - Exposition

Made old; more literally, worn away, as a garment (comp. Isaiah 50:9 ; Isaiah 51:6 ). Broken my bones. So Job complains, "His wrath teareth and persecuteth me" ( Job 16:9 ); and, a still closer parallel, Hezekiah, "As a lion, so will he break all my bones" ( Isaiah 38:13 ). Comp. Psalms 51:8 , "The bones which thou hast broken."
