I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. Lamentations 3:1-66 (AN ELEGY)
Lamentations 3:1-66.-Jeremiah proposes his own experience under afflictions as an example how the Jews should behave under theirs, so as to have hope of a restoration; hence, the change from singular to plural (Lamentations 3:22; Lamentations 3:40-47, from "I," "me," "my," to "we," "us," "our"). The stanzas consist of three lines, each of which begins with the same Hebrew letter.
