Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 1:20-22

Recognising The Depths Of Her Own Sin Jerusalem Calls On YHWH To Do The Same To Her Enemies Who Are Gloating Over Her As He Has Done To Her, For They Are Equally Sinful. And She Calls On Him To Avenge Her In Accordance With What He Has Promised Through Jeremiah (Lamentations 1:20-22 ). It is a sign of the depths of Jerusalem’s despair that her desire is not for mercy for herself, for she apparently sees that she does not warrant it, but that YHWH will also punish those who are gloating over... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Lamentations 1:1-22

Lamentations 1. The First Lament.— This is an alphabetical acrostic poem in twenty-two stanzas of three lines each, with five Heb. beats in each line. It has two equal parts: Lamentations 1:1-1 Kings : (Aleph to Kaph), the singer’ s account of Zion’ s sorrows, and Lamentations 1:12-Song of Solomon : (Lamedh to Tau), a soliloquy thereon by the city herself. In detail: Lamentations 1:1-Joshua : tells of a Zion once populous, now widowed; her nights full of weeping, unconsoled by former lovers... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:1

The interrogative particle how, once expressed and twice more understood in this verse, doth not so much inquire the cause or reason of the effect, as express admiration or lamentation. The prophet admires the miserable state of the city, which was full of people beyond the proportion of other cities, and now was solitary, so thin of people that scarce any could be seen in her streets. She that had a king, or rather a god, that was a husband to her, now was forsaken of God, her king taken from... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:2

All her hours are hours of sadness, she doth not only mourn in the day time, but in the night also, when she should rest; her cheeks are like the grass in the morning, hanging full of drops, as if her head were a fountain of water, and her eyes rivers of tears. In her prosperity she had a great many friends that sought and courted her favour, with whom she made leagues and confederated (such were the Egyptians, Assyrians, &c.); but they were now so far from helping the Jews, that they... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:3

This is expounded as the cause why the Jews were carried into captivity, because of the servitude and oppression exercised amongst them, oppression by their rulers, and servitude more generally, keeping their servants beyond the year of jubilee, when they ought to have set them at liberty; and that this was one cause appeareth from Jeremiah 34:17; or if because of affliction, & c. be joined to the next words, the sense is plain, she dwelleth amongst the heathen, by reason of her low... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:4

The ways that lead to the temple have as unlovely a complexion as mourners, being overgrown, by reason that none goeth up as usually to the feasts of the passover, of tabernacles, &c. Either all the gates of Jerusalem, or the temple, or all her cities, are very thin of people, the places that use to be so full. Her priests that were wont to be so fully employed at festivals receiving the people’s oblations, and offering sacrifices, they mourn, having now nothing to do. The virgins who in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:5

God hath fulfilled his threatening, Deuteronomy 28:43; the enemy is got above us, and we are brought very low, for the multitude of our sins, directly contrary to his promise in case of obedience, Lamentations 1:13. Not only our young and old men, but the little children, have been driven like sheep before the enemy into a miserable captivity. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:6

All the inhabitants of Zion have lost their former beauty; whatsoever splendour the city had, whether from the multitude or gallantry of her inhabitants, it is all gone; her nobles are become thin and ill-favoured, like beasts almost starved, their enemies pursue them to destroy them, and they have no strength to oppose or resist them. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:7

The inhabitants of Jerusalem, now that they are in affliction and misery, have time to remember their former mercies, and with how many desirable things God had once blessed them, and compare her former state before she fell into the enemies’ hands, with her present state now she is in their power. Now it is an affliction to them to hear her enemies mock at her sabbaths, which while they enjoyed they abused. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 1:8

She is carried out of her own land into an enemy’s country, and made a hissing and scorn to those who before reverenced her, (in all this God is righteous, for all orders of men have grievously sinned,) because they have seen the Lord stripping her of all her blessings, and exposing her to the scorn and reproach of all men, as strumpets are exposed. read more
