47 We have suffered terror and pitfalls, ruin and destruction."
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
47 panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and destruction;
47 We've been to hell and back. We've nowhere to turn, nowhere to go.
47 Fear and a snare have come upon us, Desolation and destruction.
47 We are filled with fear, for we are trapped, devastated, and ruined."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:47
Commentary on Lamentations 3:42-54
(Read Lamentations 3:42-54)
The more the prophet looked on the desolations, the more he was grieved. Here is one word of comfort. While they continued weeping, they continued waiting; and neither did nor would expect relief and succour from any but the Lord.
