Contextual Overview

1 I am the man that thorowe the rodde of his wrath haue experience of miserie. 2 He droue me foorth and led me, yea into darknesse, but not into light. 3 Against me is he turned, he turneth his hande dayly against me. 4 My flesh and my skinne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he bruised. 5 He hath buylded rounde about me, and closed me in with gall and trauaile. 6 He hath set me in darknesse, as they that be dead for euer. 7 He hath so hedged me in, that I can not get out, and hath layde heauie linkes vpon me. 8 Though I crye and call pitiously, yet heareth he not my prayer. 9 He hath stopped vp my wayes with foure squared stones, and made my pathes crooked. 10 He layeth wayte for me lyke a beare, and as a lion in a hole.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He hath caused the arrows of his quiver,.... Or, "the sons of his quiver" i; an usual Hebraism; the quiver is compared, as Aben Ezra observes, to a pregnant woman; and Horace has a like expression, "venenatis gravidam sagittis pharetram" k; the judgments of God are often signified by this metaphor, even his four sore ones, sword, famine, pestilence, and noisome beast, Deuteronomy 32:23; these, says the prophet, he caused

to enter into my reins; that is, into the midst of his land and people, or into the city of Jerusalem; or these affected his mind and heart as if so many arrows had stuck in him, the poison of which drank up his spirits, Job 6:4.

i בני אשפתו "filios pharetrae suae", Montanus, Munster, Cocceius, Michaelis. k L. 1. Ode 22.

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 13. The arrows of his quiver — בני אשפתו beney ashpatho, "The sons of his quiver." The issue or effect; the subject, adjunct, or accident, or produce of a thing, is frequently denominated its son or child. So arrows that issue from a quiver are here termed the sons of the quiver.
