Klagelieder 3:36 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:36

To subvert a man in his cause
A poor man, as the Targum, which aggravates it; as by courses and methods taken in an open court, so by secret underhand ways, to get the cause from him, and injure him in his property: the Lord approveth not;
or, "seeth not" F7; which some understand as spoken by wicked men, who do the above things, and flatter themselves that God sees not, and takes no notice of them, ( Ezekiel 9:9 ) ; and others read it interrogatively, "doth not the Lord see?" F8 he does; he sees all the actions of men, nothing is hid from him; but he sees not with approbation; he do not look upon such things with delight and pleasure, but with abhorrence, ( Habakkuk 1:13 ) . The Targum is,

``is it possible that it should not be revealed before the Lord?''

F7 (har al) "non vidit, vel videt", Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin.
F8 "Non videret?" Piscator.

Klagelieder 3:36 In-Context

34 als wollte er die Gefangenen auf Erden gar unter seine FĂŒĂŸe zertreten
35 und eines Mannes Recht vor dem Allerhöchsten beugen lassen
36 und eines Menschen Sache verkehren lassen, gleich als sÀhe es der HERR nicht.
37 Wer darf denn sagen, daß solches geschehe ohne des HERRN Befehl
38 und daß nicht Böses und Gutes komme aus dem Munde des Allerhöchsten?
