53 They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
53 they flung me alive into the pit and cast stones on me;
53 They threw me into a pit, then pelted me with stones.
53 They silenced my life in the pit And threw stones at me.
53 They threw me into a pit and dropped stones on me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:53
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.
