Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 4:17

THE VAIN TRUSTS OF THE PEOPLE, Lamentations 4:17-20. 17. As for us This translation is based on the Keri, which is not to be preferred to the written text. A literal version would be: Still do our eyes pine away for our vain help. In our watching Gesenius, Furst, Nagelsbach, and many others translate, on the watch tower. The sense is not materially changed by this rendering, and there are difficulties in the way of it. On the whole, the present Version is to be preferred. read more

He who tauntingly called out, “What of the night?” shall in the end realize that the “morning cometh” to Israel, and then it will be night to their foes, of which Edom was one of the chiefest. Dwellest in the land of Uz A hint as to the locality of Uz. read more
