51 When I see what's happened to the young women in the city, the pain breaks my heart.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:51

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.
