Lamentazioni 5:17 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 5:17

For this our heart is faint
Our spirits sink; we are ready to swoon and die away; either for this, that we have sinned; because of our sins, they are so many, so great, and so aggravated; or for those distresses and calamities they have brought upon us before mentioned; or for the desolation of Zion, more especially, after expressed; and so the Targum,

``for this house of the sanctuary, which is desolate, our heart is weak:''
for these [things] our eyes are dim;
or "darkened" F2 almost blinded with weeping; can scarcely see out of them; or as persons in a swoon; for dimness of sight usually attends faintness of spirit.

Lamentazioni 5:17 In-Context

15 La gioia de’ nostri cuori è cessata, le nostre danze son mutate in lutto.
16 La corona ci è caduta dal capo; guai a noi, poiché abbiamo peccato!
17 Per questo langue il nostro cuore, per questo s’oscuran gli occhi nostri:
18 perché il monte di Sion è desolato, e vi passeggian le volpi.
19 Ma tu, o Eterno, regni in perpetuo; il tuo trono sussiste d’età in età.
