Bible Comments

Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. Thou hast covered with anger - namely, thyself (so Lamentations 3:44), namely, so as not to see and pity our calamities, for even the most cruel, in seeing a sad spectacle, are moved to pity. Compare as to God "hiding His face," Psalms 10:11.

Verse 44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud (Lamentations 3:8). The "cloud" is our sins, and God's wrath because of them (Isaiah 59:2).

Verse 45. Thou hast made us as the off-scouring and refuse. So the apostles were treated; but, instead of complaining, rejoiced at it (1 Corinthians 4:13).
