Lamentations 3:3 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:3

Surely against me is he turned
As an enemy, who used to be a friend; he has so altered and changed the course of his providence, as if his favour and affections were wholly removed; he has planted his artillery against me, and made me the butt of his arrows: or, "only against me"; so Jarchi; as if he was the only person, or the Jews the only people, so afflicted of God: he turneth his hand [against me] all the day;
to smite with one blow after another, and that continually, without ceasing; so the hand of justice was turned upon Christ, as the surety of his people, and he was smitten and stricken of God; while the hand of grace and mercy was turned upon them; see ( Zechariah 13:7 ) .

Lamentations 3:3 In-Context

1 Je suis l'homme qui ai vu l'affliction sous la verge de sa fureur.

2 Il m'a conduit et fait marcher dans les ténèbres, et non dans la lumière.

3 Contre moi seul il tourne et retourne sa main tout le jour.

4 Il a fait vieillir ma chair et ma peau; il a brisé mes os.

5 Il a bâti contre moi, et m'a environné d'amertume et de peine.
