Contextual Overview
42 Let us say to him, "We have sinned and have been stubborn. Because of this, you have not forgiven us. 43 You wrapped yourself with anger. You chased us. You killed us without mercy! 44 You wrapped yourself in a cloud so that no prayer could get through. 45 You made us like garbage and dirt to the other nations. 46 All of our enemies speak angrily against us. 47 We have been frightened. We have fallen into a pit. We have been badly hurt. We have been broken." 48 My eyes flow with streams of tears. I cry because of the destruction of my people. 49 My eyes will flow without stopping. I will keep on crying. 50 I will continue to cry until you look down and see us, Lord ! I will continue to cry until you see us from heaven. 51 My eyes make me sad, when I see what happened to the young women in my city.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. Had given them up into the hands of the Gentiles, the Chaldeans, to be treated as the dirt of the streets, as the sweepings of a house; or the dross of metal; or anything that is vile, mean, and contemptible. The apostle seems to have some reference to this passage; and his words may be an illustration of it, 1 Corinthians 4:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Omit “as.”
