Jeremiæ 3:2

Leva oculos tuos in directum, et vide ubi non prostrata sis. In viis sedebas, exspectans eos quasi latro in solitudine : et polluisti terram in fornicationibus tuis, et in malitiis tuis.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He hath led me, and brought [me into] darkness,.... Which oftentimes signifies distress, calamity, and affliction, of one sort or another: thus the Jews were brought into the darkness of captivity; Jeremiah to the darkness of a dungeon, to which there may be an allusion; and Christ his antitype was under the hidings of God's face; and at the same time there was darkness all around him, and all over the land; and all this is attributed to God; it being by his appointment, and by his direction and permission:

but not [into] light; prosperity and joy; the affliction still continuing; though God does in his due time bring his people to the light of comfort, and of his gracious presence, as he did the above persons; see Psalms 97:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Lamentations 3:2. He hath - brought me into darkness — In the sacred writings, darkness is often taken for calamity; light, for prosperity.
