Lamentations 2:11-13 My eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people… 1. It is the greatest grief that can be, to have them whom we would gladly pleasure, seek that at our hands which we cannot help them unto. 2. When God would have us profit by any work of His, He will let us see the true cause of it. 3. The grief that is seen with the eye is the heaviest unto us of all other things that fall upon our friends. 4. When God meaneth to humble us, He will use most effectual means to bring it to pass. (J. Udall.) Parallel Verses KJV: Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. |
