Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Lam 3:43
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Lam 3:43 · Douay-Rheims
“Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou hast killed and hast not spared.”
On this verse:
“covered--namely, thyself (so Lam 3:44), so as not to see and pity our calamities, for even the most cruel in seeing a sad spectacle are moved to pity. Compare as to God "hiding His face," Psa 10:11; Psa 22:25.”
