Lamentations 3:6
_ _ set me — Henderson refers this to the custom of placing the dead in a sitting posture.
_ _ dark places — sepulchers. As those “dead long since”; so Jeremiah and his people are consigned to oblivion (Psalms 88:5, Psalms 88:6; Psalms 143:3; Ezekiel 37:13). |
- in dark:
Psalms 88:5-6 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. ... Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Psalms 143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Psalms 143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
