Lamentations 3:61 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:61

Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord
Their reproachful words uttered against the prophet and his people, against God himself; their spiteful language, their taunts, and scoffs and jeers: [and] all their imaginations against me;
those he not only saw, as they appeared in their actions; but heard them, as they were expressed by their words; yea, they were manifest to him, while they only were in silent thought forming in the mind.
