Adam Clarke, on Lam 3:1
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Lam 3:1 · Douay-Rheims
“Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.”
On this verse:
“I am the man that hath seen affliction - Either the prophet speaks here of himself, or he is personating his miserable countrymen. This and other passages in this poem have been applied to Jesus Christ's passion; but, in my opinion, without any foundation.”
