Lamentations
Part 3
Lam 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his
compassions fail not.
Lam 3:23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lam 3:24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in
him.
Lam 3:25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeks
him.
Wait – Bind / twist
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint.
Lam 3:26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait (silently / dumb) for the salvation of the
LORD.
Ecc 4:6 Better is an handful with
quietness, than both the hands full with
travail and vexation of spirit.
Isa 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy
One of Israel; In returning and rest shall
ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye
would not.
Isa 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness
quietness and assurance for ever.
2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
2Th 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
2Th 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness (silence) they
work, and eat their own bread.
Lam 3:27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Adam Clarke commentary (1760 – 1832)
That he bear the yoke in his youth - Early habits, when good, are
invaluable. Early discipline is equally so. He who has not got under
wholesome restraint in youth will never make a useful man, a good
man, nor a happy man.
Lam 3:28 When we suffer, we should sit alone in silent patience;
Lam 3:29 We should bow in submission, for there may still be hope.
Lam 3:30 Though beaten and insulted, we should accept it all.
Lam 3:31 The Lord is merciful and will not reject us forever.
Lam 3:32 He may bring us sorrow, but his love for us is sure. and strong.
Lam 3:33 He takes no pleasure in causing us grief or pain.
Lam 3:34 The Lord knows when our spirits are crushed in prison;
Lam 3:35 He knows when we are denied the rights he gave us;
Lam 3:36 When justice is perverted in court, he knows.
Lam 3:37 The will of the Lord alone is always carried out.
Lam 3:38 Good and evil alike take place at his command.
Lam 3:39 Why should we ever complain when we are punished for our sin?
Lam 3:40 Let us examine our ways and turn back to the LORD.
Eze 3:17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman to
the house of Israel. Therefore hear the Word of My mouth, and give them
warning from Me.
Adam Clarke commentary
God is particularly jealous lest any words but his own be taught for Divine doctrines. He will not have human
creeds, no more than Traditions, taught instead of his own word. No word can be successful in the salvation of
sinners but that which comes from God. Every minister of the Gospel should be familiar with his Maker by faith and
prayer; God will then hold communion with his spirit; otherwise, what he preaches will be destitute of spirit and
life, and his hackneyed texts and sermons, instead of being the bread from heaven, will be like the dry mouldy
Gibeonitish crusts.
Eze 3:18 When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you do not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked one shall die in his iniquity;
but I will require his blood at your hand.
Eze 3:19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness nor from his wicked
way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
Rev 4:11 You are worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honour and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.
1Co 6:19 Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to
yourselves but to God;
1Co 6:20 he bought you for a price. So use your bodies for
God's glory.
