Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Lamentations 1:8

JERUSALEM'S PUNISHMENT RELATED TO HER SINS"Jerusalem hath grievously sinned;therefore she is become as an unclean thing;All that honored her despise her,because they have seen her nakedness:Yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.Her filthiness was in her skirts;she remembered not her latter end;Therefore is she come down wonderfully;she hath no comforter.Behold, O Jerusalem, my affliction;for the enemy hath magnified himself.The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Lamentations 1:11

GOD HAS BOUND THE YOKE OF MY SINS UPON ME"See, O Jehovah, and Behold, for I am abject.Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow,which is brought upon me,Wherewith Jehovah hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.From on high hath he sent fire into my bones,and it prevaileth against them;He hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back.He hath made me desolate and faint all the day.The yoke of my transgression is bound by... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Lamentations 1:15

JERUSALEM IS HELPLESS UNDER GOD'S PUNISHMENT"The Lord hath set at naught all my mighty men in the midst of me;He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men:The Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.For these things, I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water;Because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me:My children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed.Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:1

Lamentations 1:1. How doth the city sit, &c.— Houbigant renders the first part of this verse thus, How doth the city sit solitary! How is she become a widow, that was full of people! Cities are commonly described as the mothers of their inhabitants, and the kings and princes as their husbands and children. When therefore they are bereaved of these, they are said to be widows and childless. Under these affecting circumstances Jerusalem is described as sitting alone, and in a pensive... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:4

Lamentations 1:4.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:7

Lamentations 1:7. Jerusalem remembered, &c.— Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction, and of her exile, all the pleasant things which she had in the days of old. Her people fall into the hand of the enemy, and no one helpeth her; her enemies behold this, and rejoice in her wound, or distress. Houbigant; who observes, that the word משׁבתה mishbatteha, rendered sabbaths, is never so used, and that there does not appear any reason why the Chaldeans should particularly mock the... read more
