Adam Clarke, on Lam 3:39
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Lam 3:39 · Douay-Rheims
“Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?”
On this verse:
“Wherefore doth a living man complain - He who has his life still lent to him has small cause of complaint. How great soever his affliction may be, he is still alive; therefore, he may seek and find mercy unto eternal life. Of this, death would deprive him; therefore let not a living man complain.”
