Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
Thou didst say ... the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow. Jeremiah does not spare his disciple, but unveils his fault-namely, fear for his life, by reason of the suspicions which he incurred in the eyes of his countrymen (cf. Jeremiah 36:17), as if he was a favourer of the Chaldeans and instigator of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 43:3); also ingratitude in speaking of his "grief," etc., whereas he ought to deem himself highly blessed in being employed by God to record Jeremiah's prophecies.
Added - rescued from the peril of my first writing (Jeremiah 36:26), I am again involved in a similar peril. He upbraids God as dealing harshly with him.
I fainted - rather I am weary х yaaga` (H3021)].
No rest - no quiet resting-place.
