Lamentations 5:1 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Remember, O YHWH, what is come on us,

Behold, and see our reproach.

The prophet calls on YHWH to remember all that had come on them and to consider the reproach that they were under, something that he will now deal with in detail. The first person plural indicates the prophet's identification with his people. They were feeling totally humiliated.
