Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Lamentations 5:5
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
5. Literally, "On our necks we are persecuted"; that is, Men tread on our necks ( Psalms 66:12 ; Isaiah 51:23 ; compare Isaiah 51:23- : ). The extremest oppression. The foe not merely galled the Jews face, back, and sides, but their neck. A just retribution, as they had been stiff in neck against the yoke of God ( Isaiah 51:23- : , Margin; Nehemiah 9:29 ; Isaiah 48:4 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
