Lamentations 3:12 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:12

He hath bent his bow
Which is put for all the instruments, of war; the Chaldeans were archers, and shot their arrows into the city: and set me as a mark for the arrow;
as a target to shoot at; signifying that God dealt with him, or his people, as enemies, the object of his wrath and indignation; and if he directed his arrow against them, it must needs hit them; there was no escaping his vengeance; see ( Job 7:20 ) ( 16:12 ) .

Lamentations 3:12 In-Context

10 Il a été pour moi un ours en embuscade, un lion dans les lieux cachés.
11 Il a détourné mes chemins, il m'a déchiré, et il m'a mis dans la désolation.
12 Il a tendu son arc, et m'a placé comme un but pour la flèche.
13 Il a fait entrer dans mes reins les flèches de son carquois.
14 Je suis la risée de tout mon peuple, et leur chanson tout le jour.
