Sermon Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:22-23

Lamentations 3:22-23 This is one of those very bright thoughts which lie across this dark book like an April ray upon a retiring cloud.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Lamentations 3:1-66

The Metre changes here. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet, twenty two in number, begin three hemistichs, which make sixty six verses. It would look better, and read more poetically, if the hemistichs formed distinct lines, as in other poetry.

As Jeremiah intended this poem to be set to music, it was proper to preserve the rhythm and spirit of poetic composition. Lamentations 3:1 . I am the man... read more
