Gill's Notes on the Bible
I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction,.... Had a much experience of it, especially ever since he had been a prophet; being reproached and ill used by his own people, and suffering with them in their calamities; particularly, as Jarchi observes, his affliction was greater than the other prophets, who indeed prophesied of the destruction of the city and temple, but did not see it; whereas he lived to see it: he was not indeed the only man that endured affliction, but he was remarkable for his afflictions; he had a large share of them, and was herein a type of Christ, who was a man of sorrows, and acquainted with griefs:
by the rod of his wrath; that is, by the rod of the wrath of God, for he is understood; it is a relative without an antecedent, as in Song of Solomon 1:1; unless the words are to be considered in connection Lamentations 2:22. The Targum is,
"by the rod of him that chastiseth in his anger;''
so Jarchi; but God's chastisements of his own people are in love, though thought sometimes by them to be in wrath and hot displeasure; so the prophet imagined, but it was not so; perhaps some regard may be had to the instrument of Jerusalem's destruction, the king of Babylon, called the rod of the Lord's anger, Isaiah 10:5; all this was true of Christ, as the surety of his people, and as sustaining their persons, and standing in their room.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That hath seen affliction - i. e. hath experienced, suffered it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER III
The prophet, by enumerating his own severe trials, 1-20,
and showing his trust in God, 21,
encourages his people to the like resignation and trust in the
Divine and never-failing mercy, 22-27.
He vindicates the goodness of God in all his dispensations, and
the unreasonableness of murmuring under them, 28-39.
He recommends self-examination and repentance; and then, from
their experience of former deliverances from God, encourages
them to look for pardon for their sins, and retribution to
their enemies, 40-66.
NOTES ON CHAP. III
Verse Lamentations 3:1. I am the man that hath seen affliction — Either the prophet speaks here of himself, or he is personating his miserable countrymen. This and other passages in this poem have been applied to Jesus Christ's passion; but, in my opinion, without any foundation.
