46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. 47 Panic and pitfall have befallen us, Devastation and destruction ; 48 My eyes run down with streams of water Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people . 49 My eyes pour down unceasingly e , Without stopping , 50 Until the Lord looks down And sees from heaven . 51 My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:46-51
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.
