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 fathers have sinned, [and are] not,.... In the world, as the Targum adds; they were in being, but not on earth; they were departed from hence, and gone into another world; and so were free from the miseries and calamities their children were attended with, and therefore more happy:

and we have borne their iniquities; the punishment of them, or chastisement for them: this is not said by way of complaint, much less as charging God with injustice, in punishing them for their fathers' sins, or to excuse theirs; for they were ready to own that they had consented to them, and were guilty of the same; but to obtain mercy and pity at the hands of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And are not; and we ... - Or, they are not; “we have borne their iniquities.” Our fathers who began this national apostasy died before the hour of punishment.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 7. Our fathers have sinned, and are notNations, as such, cannot be punished in the other world; therefore national judgments are to be looked for only in this life. The punishment which the Jewish nation had been meriting for a series of years came now upon them, because they copied and increased the sins of their fathers, and the cup of their iniquity was full. Thus the children might be said to bear the sins of the fathers, that is, in temporal punishment, for in no other way does God visit these upon the children. See Ezekiel 18:1, &c.
