Lamentations 5:7

_ _ (Jeremiah 31:29).

_ _ borne their iniquities — that is, the punishment of them. The accumulated sins of our fathers from age to age, as well as our own, are visited on us. They say this as a plea why God should pity them (compare Ezekiel 18:2, etc.).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Lamentations 5:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Lamentations 5:7

Their iniquities — The punishment of them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Lamentations 5:7

Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne (d) their iniquities.

(d) As our fathers have been punished for their sins: so we that are guilty of the same sins are punished.
