52 Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
52 "I have been hunted like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause;
52 "Enemies with no reason to be enemies hunted me down like a bird.
52 My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird.
52 My enemies, whom I have never harmed, hunted me down like a bird.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:52
Commentary on Lamentations 3:42-54
(Read Lamentations 3:42-54)
