Lam 3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? Ver. 38. Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good? ] i.e., Prosperity and adversity; q.d., Who doubteth of that? Amo 3:5 Isa 45:7 Talk not then of fate and blind fortune. read more
Lam 3:39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Ver. 39. Wherefore doth a living man complain? ] Mourn immoderately, or murmur causelessly. 1. If he mourn, let him mourn for his sin as the cause of his suffering; let him revenge upon that. 2. If he be tempted to murmur, let him remember that he is yet alive, and that is more than his part cometh to, since it is the Lord’s mercy that he is not consumed, and sent packing hence to hell. Life in any sense is a... read more
Lam 3:40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. Ver. 40. Let us search and try our ways, ] i.e., Make accurate inquiry into them; so shall we soon find ourselves to be a whole newly found world of wickedness. Search we therefore, and do it thoroughly. Many either search not at all (they cannot endure these domestic audits: it is death to them to reflect and recognise what they have done), or as though they desired not to find. They search as men do for their bad money;... read more
Lam 3:41 Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens. Ver. 41. Let us llft up our hearts with our hands. ] Holy hearts, pure hands. Instead of wrangling with God, as Lam 3:39 let us wrestle with him in prayer; this is the only way to get off with comfort. Nazianzen saith, that the best work we can put our hands unto is, in coelos eas extendere, ad precesque expandere, to lift them up to God in prayer. But then it must be with a true heart. Heb 10:22 See Job 11:13 . ... read more
Lam 3:42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. Ver. 42. We have transgressed and have rebelled. ] We have committed evil and omitted good, and failed in the manner, and are therefore justly punished. Let God hear such words fall from our mouths, set to work by our hearts, and then we may have anything. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Lamentations 3:37
Lam 3:37 Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord commandeth [it] not? Ver. 37. Who is he? ] Tam imprudens et imperitus? Can any one be so simple as to think that the enemy could do aught against us but by the divine permission and appointment? God, as he made all by his power, so he manageth all by his providence. This the Egyptians hieroglyphically set forth by painting God, (1.) As blowing an egg out of his mouth - that is, as making the round world by his word;... read more
