51 What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart
51 my eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the daughters of my city.
51 When I see what's happened to the young women in the city, the pain breaks my heart.
51 My eyes bring suffering to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.
51 My heart is breaking over the fate of all the women of Jerusalem.
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.
