Lamentations 3:22 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed - Being thus humbled, and seeing himself and his sinfulness in a proper point of view, he finds that God, instead of dealing with him in judgment, has dealt with him in mercy; and that though the affliction was excessive, yet it seas less than his iniquity deserved. If, indeed, any sinner be kept out of hell, it is because God's compassion faileth not.
