Lamentaciones 3:49 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:49

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not
From weeping, as the Targum: the prophet was continually weeping; the distresses of his people were always uppermost in his mind; and which so affected him, that it drew tears from his eyes, which constantly trickled down his cheeks: without any intermission;
or, "without intermissions" ^F14; there were no stops or pauses in his grief, and in the expressions of it: or it may be rendered, "because [there were] no intermissions" ^F15; that is, of the miseries of his people; so Jarchi,

``because there were no changes and passing away;''

that is of evils; and to the same purpose the Targum,

``because there is none that intermits my distress, and speaks comforts to me.''
