Gill's Notes on the Bible
I was a derision to all my people,.... So Jeremiah was to the people of the Jews, and especially to his townsmen, the men of Anathoth, Jeremiah 20:7; but if he represents the body of the people, others must be intended; for they could not be a derision to themselves. The Targum renders it, to the spoilers of my people; that is, either the wicked among themselves, or the Chaldeans; and Aben Ezra well observes, that "ammi" is put for "ammim", the people; and so is to be understood of all the people round about them, the Edomites, Moabites, and Ammonites, that laughed at their destruction; though some interpret it of the wicked among the Jews, to whom the godly were a derision; or of those who had been formerly subject to the Jews, and so their people, though not now:
[and] their song all the day; beating on their tabrets, and striking their harps, for joy; for the word l used signifies not vocal, but instrumental music; of such usage of the Messiah, see Psalms 69:12.
l נגינתם a נגן "pulsare istrumentum musicum".
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Having dwelt upon the difficulties which hemmed in his path, he now shows that there are dangers attending upon escape.
Lamentations 3:11
The meaning is, “God, as a lion, lying in wait, has made me turn aside from my path, but my flight was in vain, for springing upon me from His ambush lie has torn me in pieces.”
Desolate - Or, astonied, stupefied that he cannot flee. The word is a favorite one with Jeremiah.
Lamentations 3:12
This new simile arises out of the former one, the idea of a hunter being suggested by that of the bear and lion. When the hunter comes, it is not to save him.
Lamentations 3:14
Metaphor is dropped, and Jeremiah shows the real nature of the arrows which rankled in him so deeply.
Lamentations 3:15
“He hath” filled me to the full with bitterness, i. e. bitter sorrows Job 9:18.
Lamentations 3:16
Broken my teeth with gravel stones - His bread was so filled with grit that in eating it his teeth were broken.
Lamentations 3:17
Prosperity - literally, as in the margin, i. e. I forgot what good was, I lost the very idea of what it meant.
Lamentations 3:18
The prophet reaches the verge of despair. But by struggling against it he reaches at length firm ground.
