Lamentazioni 3:3 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:3

Surely against me is he turned
As an enemy, who used to be a friend; he has so altered and changed the course of his providence, as if his favour and affections were wholly removed; he has planted his artillery against me, and made me the butt of his arrows: or, "only against me"; so Jarchi; as if he was the only person, or the Jews the only people, so afflicted of God: he turneth his hand [against me] all the day;
to smite with one blow after another, and that continually, without ceasing; so the hand of justice was turned upon Christ, as the surety of his people, and he was smitten and stricken of God; while the hand of grace and mercy was turned upon them; see ( Zechariah 13:7 ) .

Lamentazioni 3:3 In-Context

1 IO son l’uomo che ha veduta afflizione, Per la verga dell’indegnazion del Signore.

2 Egli mi ha condotto, e fatto camminar nelle tenebre, E non nella luce.

3 Certo, egli mi ritorna addosso, E rivolge la sua mano contro a me tuttodì.

4 Egli ha fatta invecchiar la mia carne, e la mia pelle; Egli mi ha fiaccate le ossa.

5 Egli ha fatti degli edificii contro a me, E mi ha intorniato di tosco e di affanno.
