65 Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them!
65 You will give them
65 Break their miserable hearts! Damn their eyes!
65 Give them a veiled heart; Your curse be upon them!
65 Give them hard and stubborn hearts, and then let your curse fall on them!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:65
Commentary on Lamentations 3:55-66
(Read Lamentations 3:55-66)
Faith comes off conqueror, for in these verses the prophet concludes with some comfort. Prayer is the breath of the new man, drawing in the air of mercy in petitions, and returning it in praises; it proves and maintains the spiritual life. He silenced their fears, and quieted their spirits. Thou saidst, Fear not. This was the language of God's grace, by the witness of his Spirit with their spirits. And what are all our sorrows, compared with those of the Redeemer? He will deliver his people from every trouble, and revive his church from every persecution. He will save believers with everlasting salvation, while his enemies perish with everlasting destruction.
