Lamentations 1:21 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.

They are glad that thou hast done it - because they thought that therefore Judah is irretrievably ruined (Jeremiah 40:3, where Nebuzaradan says, "Now the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said"). Thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called - (but) thou wilt bring on them the day of calamity which thou hast announced-namely, by the prophets (Jeremiah 50:1-46; Jeremiah 48:27).

They shall be like unto me - in calamities, Psalms 137:8-9; Jeremiah 51:24, etc.) [Tau (t)]
