Lamentations 4:14 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. They have wandered as blind men in the streets - Rather, "They ran frantic through the streets, they were stained with blood." This was in their pretended zeal for their cause. Bishop Bonner, who was at the head of those sanguinary executions in England, was accustomed to buffet the poor Protestants, when on their examinations they were too powerful for him in argument: -

"He proved his doctrine orthodox,

By apostolic blows and knocks."

Just as his elder brethren, the false priests and prophets of Jerusalem.
