Lamentations 3:21 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

This, not what was already said, that made them despair, and their souls to bow down; but this, that which followeth, concerning the nature of God, and other good providences. I see nothing in the circumstances of my condition to comfort me, but I see something in God's nature, and in some other dispensations of his providence, which gives me ground to hope for better things than an utter ruin and destruction.
