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 have given our hand [to] the Egyptians,.... Either by way of supplication, to beg bread of them; or by way of covenant and agreement; or to testify subjection to them, in order to be supplied with food: many of the Jews went into Egypt upon the taking of the city, Jeremiah 43:5;

[and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread; among whom many of the captives were dispersed; since from hence they are said to be returned, as well as from Egypt, Isaiah 11:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

“To give the hand” means to submit oneself. Absolutely it was Babylon that had just destroyed their national existence, but Jeremiah means that all feelings of patriotism were crushed, and the sole care that remained was the desire for personal preservation. To secure this the people would readily have submitted to the yoke either of Egypt or Assyria, the great powers from which in their past history they had so often suffered.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 6. We have given the hand to the Egyptians — We have sought alliances both with the Egyptians and Assyrians, and made covenants with them in order to get the necessaries of life. Or, wherever we are now driven, we are obliged to submit to the people of the countries in order to the preservation of our lives.
