Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Lamentations 3:28-30

Jod

_ _ The fruit of true docility and patience. He does not fight against the yoke (Jeremiah 31:18; Acts 9:5), but accommodates himself to it.

_ _ alone — The heathen applauded magnanimity, but they looked to display and the praise of men. The child of God, in the absence of any witness, “alone,” silently submits to the will of God.

_ _ borne it upon him — that is, because he is used to bearing it on him. Rather, “because He (the Lord, Lamentations 3:26) hath laid it on him” [Vatablus].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Lamentations 3:21-36.
