Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 1:1

Jeremiah bewailed the abandoned city of Jerusalem that had once been so glorious and independent. Sitting alone is sometimes a picture of deep sorrow and mourning (cf. Lamentations 2:10; Ezra 9:3; Nehemiah 1:4). Now the city was as solitary as a widow and as servile as a forced laborer. It had changed in three ways: numerically, economically, and socially."Jerusalem, a city which used to be close to God, has been changed by the choice of significant men. They have turned away from Him when they... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 1:2

The prophet personified Jerusalem as a young girl abandoned by her lovers and betrayed by her friends (cf. Jeremiah 4:30; Jeremiah 30:14). Normally weeping gives way to sleep at night, but when it does not, sorrow is very great indeed. read more

The prophet then expounded on the calamity (Lamentations 1:3-6). Judah had gone into exile because of the affliction and servitude that Yahweh had allowed Babylon to impose on her. She was out of the Promised Land, where God had said she would find rest (cf. Deuteronomy 12:10; Deuteronomy 25:19; Joshua 21:44; Joshua 23:1; 2 Samuel 7:1; 2 Samuel 7:11; 1 Kings 8:56; Psalms 95). Now there was no rest for her, but only distress, as the people lived among the Gentiles. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 1:4

No Judahites came to the feasts in Jerusalem because they were in exile. Consequently the roads mourned that pilgrims did not cover them with joyful song. Jerusalem’s gates missed the constant flow of people in and out of the city. The gates were where people congregated to transact business, to carry out legal transactions, and to socialize. The few priests and virgins left there were lonely and miserable. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 1:5

Jerusalem’s enemies had become her masters, since God had caused them to prevail because of Jerusalem’s many sins."Over and over again he [Jeremiah] affirmed that the Lord Himself had decreed (Lamentations 1:17; Lamentations 2:17; Lamentations 3:37-38) and sent the calamity (Lamentations 1:5; Lamentations 1:12-15; Lamentations 2:1-8; Lamentations 3:1; Lamentations 3:43-45; Lamentations 4:11)." [Note: Chisholm, p. 359.] The city was devoid of children since they were in captivity. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 1:6

Once majestic, Jerusalem now sat humiliated. Her leaders, including Zedekiah and his advisers, had fled like frightened stags that could find no pasture-even though they had been strong in the past (cf. 2 Kings 24:1; 2 Kings 24:12; 2 Kings 25:4-5; Jeremiah 39:4-5). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 1:7

Jerusalem looked back on better times, now that she was in exile. She remembered how no other nations came to help her-but mocked her-when the Babylonians besieged her (e.g., Ammon, Moab, and Edom)."The heathen used to mock at the Jews’ Sabbath, as showing their idleness, and term them Sabbatarians . . ."

Fausset, and David Brown, Commentary Practical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, p. 662.] "To this day in Bible lands laughter does not occupy the place it does... read more
