Lamentazioni 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 ) .

Lamentazioni 3:3 In-Context

1 Io sono un uomo che ha veduto l’afflizione sotto la verga del suo furore.
2 Egli m’ha condotto, m’ha fatto camminare nelle tenebre e non nella luce.
3 Sì, contro di me di nuovo volge la sua mano tutto il giorno.
4 Egli ha consunta la mia carne e la mia pelle, ha fiaccato le mie ossa.
5 Ha costituito una cinta contro di me, m’ha circondato d’amarezza e d’affanno.
