Adam Clarke, on Lam 3:51
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Lam 3:51 · Douay-Rheims
“Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city.”
On this verse:
“Mine eye affecteth mine heart - What I see I feel. I see nothing but misery; and I feel, in consequence, nothing but pain. There have been various translations of the original: but they all amount to this. The daughters of my city - The villages about Jerusalem.”
