Lamentaciones 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 5:3

We are orphans and fatherless
In every sense; in a natural sense, their fathers having been cut off by the sword, famine, or pestilence; in a civil sense, their king being taken from them; and in a religious sense, God having forsaken them for their sins: our mothers [are] as widows;
either really so, their husbands being dead; or were as if they had no husbands, they not being able to provide for them, protect and deferred them. The Targum adds,

``whose husbands are gone to the cities of the sea, and it is doubtful whether they are alive.''
Some understand this politically, of their cities being desolate and defenceless.

Lamentaciones 5:3 In-Context

1 Oración por restauración
S
, recuerda lo que nos ha sucedido.
¡Mira cómo hemos sido deshonrados!
2 Se entregó nuestra herencia a extraños;
nuestras casas, a extranjeros.
3 Somos huérfanos, sin padre,
y nuestras madres son viudas.
4 Tenemos que pagar por el agua que bebemos,
y hasta la leña es costosa.
5 Los que nos persiguen nos pisan los talones;
estamos agotados pero no encontramos descanso.
