Contextual Overview

⁴² We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness. ⁴³ Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity; ⁴⁴ Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through. ⁴⁵ You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples. ⁴⁶ The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us. ⁴⁷ Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction. ⁴⁸ Rivers of water are running down from my eyes, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. ⁴⁹ My eyes are streaming without stopping, they have no rest, ⁵⁰ Till the Lord's eye is turned on me, till he sees my trouble from heaven. ⁵¹ The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. Like lions and other beasts of prey, to devour us; or in way of scorn and derision; pouring out their reproaches upon us, and scoffs at us, for our religion, and the worship of God, and on account of present miseries and distresses; see Lamentations 2:16. The Targum adds,

"to decree against us evil decrees.''
