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

We are orphans and fatherless,.... In every sense; in a natural sense, their fathers having been cut off by the sword, famine, or pestilence; in a civil sense, their king being taken from them; and in a religious sense, God having forsaken them for their sins:

our mothers [are] as widows; either really so, their husbands being dead; or were as if they had no husbands, they not being able to provide for them, protect and deferred them. The Targum adds,

"whose husbands are gone to the cities of the sea, and it is doubtful whether they are alive.''

Some understand this politically, of their cities being desolate and defenceless.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Our mothers are as widows - The particle “as” suggests that the whole verse is metaphorical. Our distress and desolation is comparable only to that of fatherless orphans or wives just bereaved of their husbands.
