48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48 Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.
48 my eyes flow with rivers of tears because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48 Rivers of tears pour from my eyes at the smashup of my dear people.
48 My eyes overflow with rivers of water For the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48 Tears stream from my eyes because of the destruction of my people!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:48
Commentary on Lamentations 3:42-54
(Read Lamentations 3:42-54)
The more the prophet looked on the desolations, the more he was grieved. Here is one word of comfort. While they continued weeping, they continued waiting; and neither did nor would expect relief and succour from any but the Lord.
