47 Fear and the pit are come on us, devastation and destruction. 48 My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:47-48

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.
