Klagelieder 5:17 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 5:17

For this our heart is faint
Our spirits sink; we are ready to swoon and die away; either for this, that we have sinned; because of our sins, they are so many, so great, and so aggravated; or for those distresses and calamities they have brought upon us before mentioned; or for the desolation of Zion, more especially, after expressed; and so the Targum,

``for this house of the sanctuary, which is desolate, our heart is weak:''
for these [things] our eyes are dim;
or "darkened" F2 almost blinded with weeping; can scarcely see out of them; or as persons in a swoon; for dimness of sight usually attends faintness of spirit.

Klagelieder 5:17 In-Context

15 Unsers Herzens Freude hat ein Ende; unser Reigen ist in Wehklagen verkehrt.
16 Die Krone unsers Hauptes ist abgefallen. O weh, daß wir so gesündigt haben!
17 Darum ist auch unser Herz betrübt, und unsre Augen sind finster geworden
18 um des Berges Zion willen, daß er so wüst liegt, daß die Füchse darüber laufen.
19 Aber du, HERR, der du ewiglich bleibst und dein Thron für und für,
