Contextual Overview

1 Call to remembraunce (O Lorde) what we haue suffred, consider and see our confusion. 2 Our inheritaunce is turned to the straungers, and our houses to the aliaunts. 3 We are become carefull and fatherlesse, and our mothers are as the wydowes. 4 We are fayne to drinke our owne water for money, and our owne wood must we buy for money. 5 Our neckes are vnder persecution, we are weery and haue no rest. 6 [Aforetime] we yeelded our selues to the Egyptians, [and nowe] to the Assyrians, onlye that we might haue bread inough. 7 Our fathers (which nowe are gone) haue sinned, and we must beare their wickednesse. 8 Seruauntes haue the rule of vs, and no man deliuereth vs out of their handes. 9 We must get our liuing with the perill of our liues, because of the drouth of the wildernesse. 10 Our skinne is as it had ben made blacke in an ouen, for very sore hunger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Our inheritance is turned to strangers,.... The land of Canaan in general, which was given to Abraham and his seed to be their inheritance; and their field, and vineyards in particular, which came to them by inheritance from their fathers, were now in the hands of the Chaldeans, strangers to God, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, as all Gentiles were, Ephesians 2:12;

our houses to aliens; which they had built or purchased, or their fathers had left them, were now inhabited by those of another country.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Turned - “transferred.” The inheritance was the land of Canaan Leviticus 20:24.

Aliens - Or, “foreigners:” i. e. the Chaldaeans upon their conquest of the country.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Lamentations 5:2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers — The greater part of the Jews were either slain or carried away captive; and even those who were left under Gedaliah were not free, for they were vassals to the Chaldeans.
