“The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.”
“The harvest is past, the summer is ended We looked forward to the aid of Egypt, but it did not come. We said, “Let the harvest pass, and they will be free, and they will come.” Now behold, the time of harvest has passed in Iyar, and the summer season in Tammuz, and they have not come.”
“For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt,.... These are the words, not of God, as Jerom; nor of Jerusalem, as the Targum; but of the prophet, as Kimchi observes, expressing his sympathy with the people in their affliction: and they may be rendered, "for the breach of the daughter of my people" (o), which was made when the city was broken up and destroyed, Jer 52:7. I am broken; in heart and spirit: I am black; with grief and sorrow. The Targum is, "my face is covered with blackness, black as a pot.'' Astonishment hath taken hold on me; at the miseries that were come upon his people; and there was no remedy for them, which occasion the following words. (o) "super contritione", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "super confractione", Schmidt; "ob fractionem", Cocceius.”
“Proverbial. Meaning: One season of hope after another has passed, but the looked-for deliverance never came, and now all hope is gone.”
The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
