耶利米哀歌第3章

《圣经》耶利米哀歌-第3章

哀3:1 我是因耶和华忿怒的杖，遭遇困苦的人。

†[吕]因主震怒之杖而经验到苦难的，我就是那种人。

†[思]在上主盛怒的鞭责下，我成了受尽痛苦的人；

†[当代]在主盛怒的杖责下，我受尽了折磨。

†[新译]我是在耶和华忿怒的杖下受过苦的人。

†[Wlb]因主忿怒之杖、而遭艰苦、我即其人兮、

†[Xdv]我被上帝惩罚，深深体验到苦难。

†[Kjv]I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

†[Nkjv]I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.

†[BBE]I am the man who has seen trouble by the rod of his wrath.

†[GNT] I am one who knows what it is to be punished by God.

†[NIV]I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

本会注释　　我是。在希伯来语圣经中，这是一首三重的离合诗，即按据字母顺序，每一个希伯来字母成为连续三行的首字母（见@哀1:1@注释）。关于希伯来语诗歌，见《诗篇》序言。
　　人。关于本章的发言者，通常有两种看法：一，耶利米述说自己的苦难。二，先知在这里以独白的形式描绘犹大苦难的概况。如果这首诗是耶利米个人的经验，那也一定是犹大人民经历的典型。但更有可能本章反映了犹太人在亡国时的概况。第1、2章都采用拟人手法描写城市和国家。这里似乎继续使用了这种手法，因为第40-47节突然改用第一个人称复数，而第48节开始则用第一个人称单数。
　　耶和华忿怒的杖。1-18节以诗歌的语言描述了上帝惩罚的严厉性。“杖”在旧约中常用作惩罚的工具（伯21:9；赛10:5）。耶利米在这里认为上帝的惩罚是为了纠正，彰显祂慈爱的照顾；临到祂的子民，是为了使他们能诚心归向祂（哀3:32,33,39,40）。

哀3:2 他引导我，使我行在黑暗中，不行在光明里。

†[吕]他率领了我，带我入暗中，非入光中。

†[思]他引我走入黑暗，不见光明；

†[当代]祂把我赶进黑暗，使我见不到光明，

†[新译]他领我，使我行在黑暗中，不行在光明里。

†[Wlb]彼引导予、使行于幽暗、不履于光明兮、

†[Xdv]他把我赶入黑暗中，使我愈陷愈深。

†[Kjv]He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.

†[Nkjv]He has led me and made me walk In darkness and not in light.

†[BBE]By him I have been made to go in the dark where there is no light.

†[GNT] He drove me deeper and deeper into darkness

†[NIV]He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light;

哀3:3 他真是终日再三反手攻击我。

†[吕]他真地反手攻击我，终日再三地攻击。

†[思]且终日再叁再四，伸手与我为敌；

†[当代]又终日不断地攻击我。

†[新译]他真是终日不停地反手攻击我。

†[Wlb]竟日反手、攻我已屡兮、

†[Xdv]他一再打击我！毫不怜惜。

†[Kjv]Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.

†[Nkjv]Surely He has turned His hand against me Time and time again throughout the day.

†[BBE]Truly against me his hand has been turned again and again all the day.

†[GNT] And beat me again and again with merciless blows.

†[NIV]indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.

本会注释　　真是。希伯来语是'ak（见@诗62:1@注释）。
　　反手。希伯来语是shub（“返回”），在这里表示反复的行为，相当于副词“再次”。上帝的手一再攻击祂的子民。
　　要注意第3节以后使用了一连串诗体比喻进一步描述了各种惩罚：第4节是疾病，第5节是围困，第6节是黑暗，第7-9节是监禁，第10,11节是猛兽，第12,13节是猎人。

哀3:4 他使我的皮肉枯干；他折断（或作：压伤）我的骨头。 (串)伯16:8|诗51:8赛38:13耶50:17

†[吕]他使我皮肉消损；折断我的骨头。

†[思]他使我肌肤枯瘦，折断我的骨头；

†[当代]祂使我皮消肉瘦，筋骨折断，

†[新译]他使我的肌肤衰残，折断我的骨头。

†[Wlb]销瘦我肌肤、摧折我骨骸兮、

†[Xdv]他使我的皮肉破裂；他折断我的骨头。

†[Kjv]My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

†[Nkjv]He has aged my flesh and my skin, And broken my bones.

†[BBE]My flesh and my skin have been used up by him and my bones broken.

†[GNT] He has left my flesh open and raw, and has broken my bones.

†[NIV]He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones.

哀3:5 他筑垒攻击我，用苦楚（原文作苦胆）和艰难围困我。

†[吕]他筑垒攻打了我，用苦胆和苦难围困着我。

†[思]他在我四周起围墙，用毒草和痛苦环绕我，

†[当代]又筑起高墙围困我，用痛楚苦难缠绕我。

†[新译]他筑垒围困我，使毒害和艰难环绕我。

†[Wlb]筑垒攻我、以苦胆劳瘁围我兮、

†[Xdv]他在我四周筑起围墙，用艰难痛苦围困我。

†[Kjv]He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

†[Nkjv]He has besieged me And surrounded me with bitterness and woe.

†[BBE]He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.

†[GNT] He has shut me in a prison of misery and anguish.

†[NIV]He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

本会注释　　筑垒攻击我。可能指上帝将祂的子民围在城墙内，也可能指祂造成围城的局面，如尼布甲尼撒围攻耶路撒冷时所为。
　　苦胆。希伯来语是ro'sh是“苦而有毒的草”（见@诗69:21@注释），也用来指蛇毒（申32:33；伯20:16）。

哀3:6 他使我住在幽暗之处，象死了许久的人一样。 (串)诗88:5-6;143:3

†[吕]他使我住在幽暗地方，像死了许久的人一样。

†[思]让我居住在黑暗之中，好像久已死去的人。

†[当代]祂把我当作死去已久的人，埋在黑暗里。

†[新译]他使我住在黑暗之处，好像死了许久的人一样。

†[Wlb]俾我处于幽暗、如久死之人兮、

†[Xdv]他强迫我居住在幽暗中，像死了许久的人一样。

†[Kjv]He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.

†[Nkjv]He has set me in dark places Like the dead of long ago.

†[BBE]He has kept me in dark places, like those who have been long dead.

†[GNT] He has forced me to live in the stagnant darkness of death.

†[NIV]He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.

本会注释　　祂使我。原文与诗143:3的后半部份几乎一样，说明耶利米熟悉这些诗篇。
　　幽暗之处。证明死人安身之处是黑暗和静穆的（见@传9:10@；@赛38:18@注释）。

哀3:7 他用篱笆围住我，使我不能出去；他使我的铜链沉重。 (串)伯3:23;19:8何2:6

†[吕]他用墙围着我，使我不能出去；他使我的铜链沉重。

†[思]他用垣墙围困我，不能逃脱；并且加重我的桎梏；

†[当代]祂把我重重包围，使我不能逃脱，还给我加上沉重的锁链。

†[新译]他筑墙围住我，使我不能逃出去；他又加重我的钢链。

†[Wlb]彼环我以籓篱、使予不出、系我以重链兮、

†[Xdv]他用铁链捆绑我；我成了囚徒，无法逃脱。

†[Kjv]He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

†[Nkjv]He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out; He has made my chain heavy.

†[BBE]He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.

†[GNT] He has bound me in chains; I am a prisoner with no hope of escape.

†[NIV]He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.

哀3:8 我哀号求救；他使我的祷告不得上达。 (串)伯30:20诗22:2

†[吕]我每逢哀呼喊救，他总把我的祷告闭塞着。

†[思]我呼吁求救时，他却掩耳不听我的祈祷。

†[当代]不管我怎样哀哭呼求，祂都充耳不闻。

†[新译]甚至我哀求呼救的时候，他也掩耳不听我的祷告。

†[Wlb]我呼吁求助时、掩耳不听我祈兮、

†[Xdv]我高声呼救，但上帝不听。

†[Kjv]Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

†[Nkjv]Even when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.

†[BBE]Even when I send up a cry for help, he keeps my prayer shut out.

†[GNT] I cry aloud for help, but God refuses to listen;

†[NIV]Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.

本会注释　　我哀号求救。“哀号”和“求救”是连续的举动。
　　不得上达。从表面上看，这似乎与上帝垂听祈祷的许多保证矛盾（见诗65:2；91:15；珥2:32）。但要注意，这首诗歌的思想是有一个进程的。耶利米现在说的是自己或他的同胞在关注他们毁灭状况时的想法。上帝没有垂听他们求救的祈祷。他们在灰心之余，以为祂永远也不听他们了。但希望还是有的。随着诗歌思路的进展，他们又得到了保证：“凡等候耶和华，心里寻求他的，耶和华必施恩给他。……人仰望耶和华，静默等候祂的救恩，这原是好的”（哀3:25,26）。表面上没有回答的祈祷，往往只是考验，要看看恳求者有没有准备好欣赏和充分利用所祈求的恩赐。

哀3:9 他用凿过的石头挡住我的道；他使我的路弯曲。

†[吕]他用砍好的石头挡住我的路；使我路径弯曲。

†[思]他用方石堵住了我的去路，阻塞了我的行径。

†[当代]祂用凿好的石头阻挡我的去路，使我的道路迂回曲折。

†[新译]他用砍凿好的石头堵塞我的道路，他使我的路径曲折。

†[Wlb]以凿石塞我途、使我蹊径维曲兮、

†[Xdv]他用大石挡住我的去路，使我走路蹒跚。

†[Kjv]He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

†[Nkjv]He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.

†[BBE]He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.

†[GNT] I stagger as I walk; stone walls block me wherever I turn.

†[NIV]He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked.

本会注释　　描述主要的道路被堵塞。诗人被迫走小路时，发现道路曲折难行。

哀3:10 他向我如熊埋伏，如狮子在隐密处。 (串)伯10:16赛38:13何5:14

†[吕]他像埋伏的熊、要扑着我，像狮子在隐密处。

†[思]上主之于我，像是一只潜伏的狗熊，是一头藏匿的狮子，

†[当代]在我心目中，祂像头蠢蠢欲动的巨熊，又像伺机突袭的猛狮。

†[新译]他像熊埋伏着，又像狮子在藏匿的地方，等候攻击我。

†[Wlb]彼之于我、如熊潜伏、如狮阴伺兮、

†[Xdv]他像熊一样埋伏着等我，像狮子一样向我扑来。

†[Kjv]He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

†[Nkjv]He has been to me a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in ambush.

†[BBE]He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places.

†[GNT] He waited for me like a bear; he pounced on me like a lion.

†[NIV]Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding,

哀3:11 他使我转离正路，将我撕碎，使我凄凉。 (串)何6:1

†[吕]他使我转离正路，将我撕碎；使我凄凉。

†[思]他把我拖到路旁，扑捉撕裂，加以摧残；

†[当代]祂把我拖到路旁蹂躏一顿，使我孤独可怜。

†[新译]他把我拖离大路，把我撕碎，弃我于荒野。

†[Wlb]俾我迷途、攫而裂我、使我惊惶兮、

†[Xdv]他把我赶离大路，把我撕碎了，丢在一边。

†[Kjv]He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

†[Nkjv]He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces; He has made me desolate.

†[BBE]By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste.

†[GNT] He chased me off the road, tore me to pieces, and left me.

†[NIV]he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help.

哀3:12 他张弓将我当作箭靶子。 (串)伯7:20;16:12

†[吕]他弯了弓，立了我做箭靶子。

†[思]又拉开他的弓，瞄准我，把我当作众矢之的。

†[当代]祂弯弓搭箭，把我当作箭靶，

†[新译]他拉开了他的弓，立我作箭靶子。

†[Wlb]张弓发矢、以我为的兮、

†[Xdv]他弯弓搭箭，把我当箭靶射击。

†[Kjv]He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

†[Nkjv]He has bent His bow And set me up as a target for the arrow.

†[BBE]With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.

†[GNT] He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows.

†[NIV]He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows.

哀3:13 他把箭袋中的箭射入我的肺腑。 (串)伯6:4诗38:2

†[吕]他把他箭袋中的箭（同词：儿子）射入我腰肾。

†[思]他用箭囊的箭，射杀了我的双腰；

†[当代]祂从箭囊抽出箭来，射穿了我的内脏。

†[新译]他把他箭囊中的箭，射进我的肺腑。

†[Wlb]使其箙中之矢、入于我腰兮、

†[Xdv]他射出的箭刺入我体中。

†[Kjv]He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.

†[Nkjv]He has caused the arrows of His quiver To pierce my loins.

†[BBE]He has let loose his arrows into the inmost parts of my body.

†[GNT] He shot his arrows deep into my body.

†[NIV]He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver.

本会注释　　我的肺腑。直译是“我的肾”，泛指内脏，是从前人们以为情感的所在处（见@哀2:11@注释）。上帝的箭射中了民族肉体上和精神性上的要害（见14节）。耶利米常用“肺腑”表达这种意思（耶11:20；12:2；17:10；20:12）。

哀3:14 我成了众民的笑话；他们终日以我为歌曲。 (串)耶20:7|本章63伯30:9诗69:12

†[吕]我成了万族之民（有古卷作：我的众民）的笑话，和终日唱的歌曲。

†[思]使我成了万民的笑柄，终日受他们的嘲笑；

†[当代]我成了万人的笑柄，终日受尽别人的嘲弄。

†[新译]我成了众民讥笑的对象，他们终日以我为歌嘲讽我。

†[Wlb]我为我民之笑柄、终日以我为歌兮、

†[Xdv]人们成天嘲笑我；我成为大家的笑柄。

†[Kjv]I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

†[Nkjv]I have become the ridicule of all my people-- Their taunting song all the day.

†[BBE]I have become the sport of all the peoples; I am their song all the day.

†[GNT] People laugh at me all day long; I am a joke to them all.

†[NIV]I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long.

本会注释　　指对失败的敌人发出炫耀和嘲笑的音乐，特别是歌唱（见@伯30:9@；@诗69:12@注释）。

哀3:15 他用苦楚充满我，使我饱用茵陈。 (串)耶9:15

†[吕]他叫我饱尝着苦楚，使我吃饫了苦堇。

†[思]他使我饱食苦菜，醉饮苦酒。

†[当代]祂使我尝尽苦楚，历尽艰辛。

†[新译]他使我饱尝苦菜，饱享苦堇。

†[Wlb]尔餍我以苦荼、饫我以茵蔯兮、

†[Xdv]他使我饱尝灾祸，强迫我喝下苦酒。

†[Kjv]He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.

†[Nkjv]He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drink wormwood.

†[BBE]He has made my life nothing but pain, he has given me the bitter root in full measure.

†[GNT] Bitter suffering is all he has given me for food and drink.

†[NIV]He has filled me with bitter herbs and sated me with gall.

本会注释　　饱用。主要不是指醉酒，而是指过量。
　　茵陈。一种很苦的草，象征犹太人伤心的经历（见@箴5:4@注释）。

哀3:16 他又用沙石碜断我的牙，用灰尘将我蒙蔽。 (串)箴20:17

†[吕]他用沙砾使我牙碜；他使我蜷缩于炉灰中。

†[思]他用砂砾破碎我的牙齿，用灰尘给我充。

†[当代]祂用砂石硌断我的牙，又把我蒙在尘土里。

†[新译]他用沙石使我的牙齿破碎，把我践踏在灰尘中。

†[Wlb]以沙石折我齿、以灰尘蒙我身兮、

†[Xdv]他把我的脸孔按在地上擦；他用石子磨断我的牙齿。

†[Kjv]He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.

†[Nkjv]He has also broken my teeth with gravel, And covered me with ashes.

†[BBE]By him my teeth have been broken with crushed stones, and I am bent low in the dust.

†[GNT] He rubbed my face in the ground and broke my teeth on rocks.

†[NIV]He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust.

本会注释　　碜断我的牙。15节开始用食物的比喻。犹大不但要喝最苦的饮料，还要吃掺有碎石的食物。据《米德拉西》（犹太人《旧约》注释，成书于2-11世纪）中犹太人的传说，犹太人在被掳往巴比伦的途中时，必须在坑里烘焙食物，所以掺了砂石。
　　灰尘。象征悲伤（见撒下13:19；伯2:8）。

哀3:17 你使我远离平安，我忘记好处。

†[吕]他（传统：你）屏弃了我、使我丧失平安；我已忘了福利是什么。

†[思]他除去了我心中的平安，我已经忘记了一切幸福；

†[当代]我的心失掉平安，我已忘却了快乐。

†[新译]你使我失去了平安，我已忘记了福乐是什么。

†[Wlb]使我灵远平康、我忘福祉兮、

†[Xdv]我的生活没有平安；我已忘记什么是喜乐。

†[Kjv]And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.

†[Nkjv]You have moved my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.

†[BBE]My soul is sent far away from peace, I have no more memory of good.

†[GNT] I have forgotten what health and peace and happiness are.

†[NIV]I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.

本会注释　　我。见@诗16:10@注释。
　　平安。见@耶6:14@注释。

哀3:18 我就说：我的力量衰败；我在耶和华那里毫无指望！ (串)诗31:22

†[吕]我就说：“我的耐久力已衰尽，我由永恒主可得的指望也消失了。”

†[思]于是我说：“我的光荣已经消逝，对上主的希望也已经幻灭。”

†[当代]我只有唏嘘感叹：“我筋疲力竭，因为主离开了我的缘故，一切的盼望都幻灭了！”

†[新译]所以我说：“我的力量已消失了，我从耶和华所得的盼望也没有了。”

†[Wlb]乃曰我力已尽、绝望于耶和华兮、

†[Xdv]我在世日子无多；我对上主的盼望也断绝了。

†[Kjv]And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

†[Nkjv]And I said, "My strength and my hope Have perished from the LORD."

†[BBE]And I said, My strength is cut off, and my hope from the Lord.

†[GNT] I do not have much longer to live; my hope in the Lord is gone.

†[NIV]So I say, "My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord ."

本会注释　　力量。希伯来语是nesach（见@撒上15:29@注释）。

哀3:19 耶和华啊，求你记念我如茵陈和苦胆的困苦窘迫。 (串)耶9:15

†[吕]追想着（改点母音翻译的）我的苦难和流浪简直就是毒菜和苦堇。

†[思]我回忆着我的困厄和痛苦，尽是茹苦含辛！

†[当代]主啊，求你体恤我创痛流离，凄凉苦楚。

†[新译]回忆起我的困苦飘流，就像是苦堇和毒草。

†[Wlb]我之祸患艰难、茵蔯苦胆、尚其忆之兮、

†[Xdv]想起我的痛苦和流浪，简直是苦涩的毒药。

†[Kjv]Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

†[Nkjv]Remember my affliction and roaming, The wormwood and the gall.

†[BBE]Keep in mind my trouble and my wandering, the bitter root and the poison.

†[GNT] The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison.

†[NIV]I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.

本会注释　　茵陈。见第15节注释。
　　苦胆。见第5节注释。

哀3:20 我心想念这些，就在里面忧闷。

†[吕]我的心一直追想着往时，我里面就沉闷。

†[思]我的心越回想，越觉沮丧。

†[当代]往日的愁苦在我脑海中不断浮现，使我心情沉重；

†[新译]每逢我的心想起往事，我的心就消沉。

†[Wlb]我心犹忆之、而抑郁兮、

†[Xdv]我不断地想这些事，我的心灵沉闷难言！

†[Kjv]My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

†[Nkjv]My soul still remembers And sinks within me.

†[BBE]My soul still keeps the memory of them; and is bent down in me.

†[GNT] I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.

†[NIV]I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.

本会注释　　一个人如果有正确的态度，不断地思考上帝的惩罚，就会有谦卑的精神。

哀3:21 我想起这事，心里就有指望。

†[吕]但以下这一点、我心里一回想，我就因此有指望了：

†[思]但是我必要追念这事，以求获得希望：

†[当代]然而，当我想起主永远长存的慈爱，无穷无尽的怜悯，我便有了指望。

†[新译]但我的心一想起下面这件事，我就有指望。

†[Wlb]我追念之、则有所冀兮、

†[Xdv]但当我想起另一件事，我的希望又重新燃起。

†[Kjv]This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

†[Nkjv]This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

†[BBE]This I keep in mind, and because of this I have hope.

†[GNT] Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:

†[NIV]Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

哀3:22 我们不至消灭，是出于耶和华诸般的慈爱；是因他的怜悯不至断绝。 (串)玛3:6

†[吕]永恒主的坚爱永不断绝（传统：我们不灭绝），他的怜悯永不止息。

†[思]上主的慈爱，永无止境；他的仁慈，无穷无尽。

†[当代]－

†[新译]耶和华的慈爱永不断绝，他的怜悯永不止息。

†[Wlb]吾侪之不尽灭、乃由耶和华之仁慈、以其矜悯不绝兮、

†[Xdv]上主的慈爱永不断绝；他的怜悯永不止息；

†[Kjv]It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

†[Nkjv]Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

†[BBE]It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

†[GNT] The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue,

†[NIV]Because of the Lord 's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

本会注释　　慈爱。希伯来语是chasadim（见诗36篇补充注释）。这里的复数形式表示上帝的爱无法胜数，永不断绝。
　　第22-41节不仅是这首诗的中心和高潮，也是整个《哀歌》的中心和高潮。显示了上帝真正关心祂受苦子民的伟大真理。这几节经文以十分肯定的语气回答了本卷中随处可见的许多否定性问题。这里所表现的耶和华，是一位虽然惩罚，却“并不甘心使人受苦”（第33节），“祂的怜悯不致断绝”（第22节）的上帝。

哀3:23 每早晨，这都是新的；你的诚实极其广大！ (串)赛33:2

†[吕]是每天早晨都常新的；哦、你的忠信好大呀！

†[思]你的仁慈，朝朝常新；你的忠信，浩大无垠！

†[当代]你的慈爱每日更新，你的信实伟大无比！

†[新译]每天早晨都是新的；你的信实多么广大！

†[Wlb]每朝新施、尔之信实宏大兮、

†[Xdv]像晨曦那样清新，像太阳的东升那样确实。

†[Kjv]They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

†[Nkjv]They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

†[BBE]They are new every morning; great is your good faith.

†[GNT] Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.

†[NIV]They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

本会注释　　上帝的慈爱──生活，健康，衣食住行，人世的感情和友谊，以及其他数不清的福气，每天都有新的赐给人，源源不断，以致被人视为司空见惯，忘记了这每一件都是上帝的恩赐，显示祂持久的爱。祂是一切美善恩赐的施给者（见雅1:17）。

哀3:24 我心里说：耶和华是我的分，因此，我要仰望他。 (串)诗16:5;73:26

†[吕]我心里说：“永恒主是我的业分，因此我仰望他。”

†[思]我心中知道：上主是我的福分；因此，我必信赖他。

†[当代]我心里知道：“主是我的产业，我要仰望祂。”

†[新译]我心里说：“耶和华是我的业分，所以，我必仰望他。”

†[Wlb]我心自谓、耶和华为我业、我必望之兮、

†[Xdv]上主是我所有的一切；我把希望寄托于他。

†[Kjv]The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

†[Nkjv]"The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"

†[BBE]I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him.

†[GNT] The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope.

†[NIV]I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."

哀3:25 凡等候耶和华，心里寻求他的，耶和华必施恩给他。 (串)诗130:6赛30:18

†[吕]人切候着永恒主、心里寻求他、永恒主必好待这人。

†[思]上主对信赖他和寻求他的人，是慈善的。

†[当代]主必赐福给那些等候和寻求祂的人，

†[新译]耶和华善待等候他的和心里寻求他的人。

†[Wlb]凡仰而求耶和华者、耶和华施之恩兮、

†[Xdv]寻求他，信靠他的人，上主施恩给他们。

†[Kjv]The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

†[Nkjv]The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

†[BBE]The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

†[GNT] The Lord is good to everyone who trusts in him,

†[NIV]The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

本会注释　　施恩。第25-27节开头的希伯来语字母和词汇都是一样的：tob（“恩”）。它成了这一部份诗句的主调。
　　等候。这里是逆境中信靠的关键。等候体现信心和耐心。

哀3:26 人仰望耶和华，静默等候他的救恩，这原是好的。 (串)诗37:7

†[吕]人仰望（仿七十子翻译的）永恒主，静默（仿七十子翻译的）等候他的救恩，真好阿！

†[思]最好是静待上主的救援，

†[当代]因此，人默然等候主和期待祂的救恩，是有益的。

†[新译]安静等候耶和华的救恩，是多么的美好！

†[Wlb]仰望耶和华之拯救、而静俟之、斯为美兮、

†[Xdv]因此我们应该仰望他，耐心等候他的救恩。

†[Kjv]It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

†[Nkjv]It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.

†[BBE]It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

†[GNT] So it is best for us to wait in patience - to wait for him to save us -

†[NIV]it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord .

本会注释　　再次强调要勇敢地顺从上帝的道。因为到头来这是最好的（见@罗8:28@注释）。

哀3:27 人在幼年负轭，这原是好的。 (串)诗94:12;119:71

†[吕]人幼年时负轭，真好阿！

†[思]最好是自幼背负上主的重轭，

†[当代]幼年负轭、受主管束，也是有益的。

†[新译]人在幼年时就负轭，是多么的美好！

†[Wlb]人于幼年负轭、亦为美兮、

†[Xdv]我们应该在年轻时学习背负耐心的轭。

†[Kjv]It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth.

†[Nkjv]It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth.

†[BBE]It is good for a man to undergo the yoke when he is young.

†[GNT] And it is best to learn this patience in our youth.

†[NIV]It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.

本会注释　　轭。象征服役（见耶27:8,11,12）。
　　在幼年。人在年青时学到这个教训是特别幸运的；因为他以后的全部人生将会充满敬虔的忍耐。耶利米在年青时就蒙召担任先知，经历了其中的一切艰辛和伤心（耶1:6）。

哀3:28 他当独坐无言，因为这是耶和华加在他身上的。 (串)耶15:17哀2:10

†[吕]让他当独坐无言吧，既是永恒主加在他身上的。

†[思]默然独坐，因为是上主加于他的轭；

†[当代]主把重轭加在某人身上，是要叫他默然独坐。

†[新译]他要无言独坐，因为这是耶和华加在他身上的。

†[Wlb]当默然而独坐、以其轭为主所加兮、

†[Xdv]当我们遭受痛苦的时候，我们应该耐心静坐。

†[Kjv]He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

†[Nkjv]Let him sit alone and keep silent, Because God has laid it on him;

†[BBE]Let him be seated by himself, saying nothing, because he has put it on him.

†[GNT] When we suffer, we should sit alone in silent patience;

†[NIV]Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him.

本会注释　　他当独坐。哀1:1用同样的话描述耶路撒冷（也见耶15:17）。现在认识到这种独处是为了耶路撒冷的益处。
　　第28-30节阐述了“负轭”的意义（第27节）。如果在年轻时就记住忍耐谦卑，他们就会变得更有力量。
　　加。艰难是上帝施加的这一事实是负轭有好处的根本原因。

哀3:29 他当口贴尘埃，或者有指望。 (串)伯42:6

†[吕]让他口贴尘土吧，或者还有盼望。

†[思]他该把自己的口贴近尘埃，这样或者还有希望；

†[当代]如果他肯谦卑，脸伏于地，

†[新译]他要把自己的口埋于尘土中，或者还有盼望。

†[Wlb]厥口伏于尘埃、庶可有望兮、

†[Xdv]我们应该低头顺服，也许还有希望。

†[Kjv]He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

†[Nkjv]Let him put his mouth in the dust-- There may yet be hope.

†[BBE]Let him put his mouth in the dust, if by chance there may be hope.

†[GNT] We should bow in submission, for there may still be hope.

†[NIV]Let him bury his face in the dust- there may yet be hope.

本会注释　　就是面伏于地，表示完全顺服。这是古代的惯例（见@创17:3@注释）。例如著名的撒缦以色三世黑色方尖塔，就描绘了以色列王耶户面伏于地，五体投地在亚述王面前，而他的仆人则呈上献贡物（见本书卷二49页插图）。

哀3:30 他当由人打他的腮颊，要满受凌辱。 (串)赛50:6太5:39

†[吕]让他将腮颊向给击打的人吧，好使他饱受凌辱。

†[思]向打他的人，送上面颊，饱受凌辱。

†[当代]甘受掌掴，饱尝凌辱，那么，或许还有一线希望。

†[新译]他要让人打他的脸颊，要饱受凌辱。

†[Wlb]由人批颊、充其凌辱兮、

†[Xdv]纵使受鞭打凌辱，我们都应该忍受。

†[Kjv]He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

†[Nkjv]Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, And be full of reproach.

†[BBE]Let his face be turned to him who gives him blows; let him be full of shame.

†[GNT] Though beaten and insulted, we should accept it all.

†[NIV]Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace.

本会注释　　这是耶稣所教导让人打另一边脸的著名道理在《旧约》中的有力表述（太5:39）。大卫对待示每的认让就是这一原则的突出例子（撒下16:11,12）。

哀3:31 因为主必不永远丢弃人。 (串)诗94:14

†[吕]因为永恒主必不永远屏绝人。

†[思]因为上主决不会永远把人遗弃；

†[当代]因为主决不会把人永远弃绝，

†[新译]主必不会永远丢弃人。

†[Wlb]盖主之遗弃、不至永久兮、

†[Xdv]主满有仁慈，不会长久拒绝我们。

†[Kjv]For the LORD will not cast off for ever:

†[Nkjv]For the Lord will not cast off forever.

†[BBE]For the Lord does not give a man up for ever.

†[GNT] The Lord is merciful and will not reject us forever.

†[NIV]For men are not cast off by the Lord forever.

本会注释　　第31-33节是正确理解整部《哀歌》的关键。它启示了上帝在祂儿女一切苦难中的慈爱。上帝不会无缘无故让苦难临到。虽然祂有时允许苦难临到，那也是人咎由自取的。惩罚对于上帝来说，是“奇异的事”（赛28:21）。上帝凭着自己统管一切的天意，有时“允许不幸发生，是为了避免更大的不幸”（怀爱伦《评论与通讯》1909年2月4日）。

哀3:32 主虽使人忧愁，还要照他诸般的慈爱发怜悯。

†[吕]因为主虽使人受苦，还要照他丰盛的坚爱施怜悯。

†[思]纵使惩罚，他必按照自己丰厚的慈爱，而加以怜悯。

†[当代]祂若使人忧伤，也必同时按自己丰盛的慈爱，广施怜悯。

†[新译]他虽然使人忧愁，却必照着他丰盛的慈爱施怜悯。

†[Wlb]虽使人忧戚、尚循其慈惠之富、而加矜恤兮、

†[Xdv]他虽然使我们忧愁，但对我们的爱坚定不移。

†[Kjv]But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

†[Nkjv]Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies.

†[BBE]For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love.

†[GNT] He may bring us sorrow, but his love for us is sure and strong.

†[NIV]Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.

本会注释　　慈爱。见22节注释。我们天天所不断领受的各种福气，对于遭受逆境的人，应当是证明上帝仍将”发怜悯”的证据。

哀3:33 因他并不甘心使人受苦，使人忧愁。 (串)结33:11来12:10

†[吕]因为他并非由衷而使人遭苦难，他并不甘心使人类受苦。

†[思]因为他苛待和惩罚世人，原不是出于他的心愿。

†[当代]世人痛苦忧伤，原不是祂的本意。

†[新译]因为他心里本不是要人受困苦，或是要世人愁苦。

†[Wlb]彼加苦难、使人忧戚、非其心兮、

†[Xdv]他不是存心要我们受苦，或使我们愁烦。

†[Kjv]For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

†[Nkjv]For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.

†[BBE]For he has no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men.

†[GNT] He takes no pleasure in causing us grief or pain.

†[NIV]For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.

本会注释　　这段话生动地描述了上帝对祂子民奇妙的爱。上帝并不想伤害或毁灭祂所造的任何东西。祂“不愿有一人沉沦，乃愿人人都悔改”（彼后3:9）。为了引导人得救，上帝愿意充分显示祂的慈爱。在山穷水尽的时候，上帝出于对人的爱，会允许苦难临到他身上，以便帮助他悔罪改。在耶利米的时代，犹大民族的情形就是这样。“上帝久期推迟祂的惩罚，因为祂不愿意羞辱祂的选民。但是现在祂要向他们显示自己的不悦，作为制止他们罪行的最后努力”（《证言》卷四165页）。

哀3:34 人将世上被囚的踹（原文作压）在脚下，

†[吕]人将国中被囚的都压在脚下，

†[思]将世上所有的俘虏，都践踏在脚下，

†[当代]用脚践踏世上的囚犯、

†[新译]人把地上所有被囚的，都践踏在脚下，

†[Wlb]足践世之狱囚、

†[Xdv]在狱中受折磨，主必关怀！

†[Kjv]To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.

†[Nkjv]To crush under one's feet All the prisoners of the earth,

†[BBE]In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

†[GNT] The Lord knows when our spirits are crushed in prison;

†[NIV]To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land,

本会注释　　踹。形象地描述了古代征服者的习惯，就是把脚踩在被征服之敌人的脖子上。贝希斯敦（Behistun］）碑文描述了波斯大利乌大帝把脚踩在篡位者高玛他的尸体上（见本书卷三70页；又见本书卷一98页）。
　　被囚的。寓指全人类在上帝面前的地位。

哀3:35 或在至高者面前屈枉人，

†[吕]或当着至高者面前屈枉人的正直，

†[思]在至上者前剥夺人的权利,　

†[当代]在至高者面前屈枉好人、

†[新译]或在至高者面前，屈枉正直，

†[Wlb]枉人于至上者之前、

†[Xdv]天赋的人权被蹂躏，主必关怀！

†[Kjv]To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

†[Nkjv]To turn aside the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High,

†[BBE]In his turning away the right of a man before the face of the Most High.

†[GNT] He knows when we are denied the rights he gave us;

†[NIV]to deny a man his rights before the Most High,

本会注释　　人。该词与“人权”同义。上帝在创造人类的时候，赐给他们一些不可剥夺的权利。考虑到写作的时代和环境，这是有关个人尊严最显著的论述。

哀3:36 或在人的讼事上颠倒是非，这都是主看不上的。 (串)哈1:13

†[吕]或在人的争讼上颠倒是非：都是主所看不上的。

†[思]与人争讼时，欺压他人：难道上主看不见？

†[当代]在审案时颠倒是非，都是主所不容的。

†[新译]或在诉讼的事上颠倒是非，主不都看见吗？

†[Wlb]屈人之狱、俱耶和华所不悦兮、

†[Xdv]在法庭上受枉，主必关怀！

†[Kjv]To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.

†[Nkjv]Or subvert a man in his cause-- The Lord does not approve.

†[BBE]In his doing wrong to a man in his cause, the Lord has no pleasure.

†[GNT] When justice is perverted in court, he knows.

†[NIV]to deprive a man of justice- would not the Lord see such things?

本会注释　　描述因不诚实的手段而做出对向法官提起正当诉讼的人不利的判决。

哀3:37 除非主命定，谁能说成就成呢？ (串)诗33:9

†[吕]除非主命定，谁能说成就成呢？

†[思]若非上主有命，谁能言出即成呢？

†[当代]除非主发施号令，否则没有人能言出即成。

†[新译]除非主命定，谁能说成，就成了呢？

†[Wlb]非主所命、谁能言之、而即成兮、

†[Xdv]除非主命令，没有人能成就什么。

†[Kjv]Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

†[Nkjv]Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it?

†[BBE]Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord?

†[GNT] The will of the Lord alone is always carried out.

†[NIV]Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?

哀3:38 祸福不都出于至高者的口吗？ (串)伯2:10赛45:7摩3:6

†[吕]是祸是福，不都出于至高者的口么？

†[思]吉凶祸福，难道不是出自至上者之口？

†[当代]凶吉祸福，难道不都是出自至高者的口吗？

†[新译]或祸或福，不都是出于至高者的口吗？

†[Wlb]惟祸与福、非出自至上者之口乎、

†[Xdv]是祸是福，都出于至高者的命令。

†[Kjv]Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

†[Nkjv]Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed?

†[BBE]Do not evil and good come from the mouth of the Most High?

†[GNT] Good and evil alike take place at his command.

†[NIV]Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?

哀3:39 活人因自己的罪受罚，为何发怨言呢？ (串)箴19:3弥7:9

†[吕]活人为什么哀怨？人为什么因受的罪罚而发怨言呢？

†[思]人生在世，为自己的罪受罚，为什么还叫苦？

†[当代]世人既是因自己的罪受罚，又何必怨天尤人呢？

†[新译]人活在世上，因自己的罪受惩罚，为什么发怨言呢？

†[Wlb]人生于世、因己愆尤受罚、又何怨兮、

†[Xdv]因罪受惩罚，怎可埋怨呢？

†[Kjv]Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

†[Nkjv]Why should a living man complain, A man for the punishment of his sins?

†[BBE]What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?

†[GNT] Why should we ever complain when we are punished for our sin?

†[NIV]Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?

本会注释　　关于这一节，传统的犹太人注释《米德拉西》有简单解释：“对于活着的人来说是足够的”（《米德拉西》：《哀歌》第9部分）。人的生命是上帝的恩赐，所以要记住上帝的手在保护着他（见徒17:28）。诗人在这里用了一点反语，为了使在试炼之下发怨言的人感觉羞愧。一个人每时每刻都在上帝的许可下呼吸，他岂敢对上帝管理宇宙事务的旨意说三道四？

哀3:40 我们当深深考察自己的行为，再归向耶和华。

†[吕]我们来检讨考查行径，回归永恒主吧。

†[思]我们应检讨考察我们的行为，回头归向上主！

†[当代]我们应当检讨自己的行为，重新归向主！

†[新译]我们要检讨和省察自己的行为，然后归向耶和华。

†[Wlb]我侪其察己途、转归耶和华兮、

†[Xdv]我们该检讨自己的行为，归回上主。

†[Kjv]Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the LORD;

†[BBE]Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;

†[GNT] Let us examine our ways and turn back to the Lord.

†[NIV]Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord .

本会注释　　临到众人的痛苦和困难，是为了提醒他们省察自己的心，以至改变自己不符合上帝圣道的行径。

哀3:41 我们当诚心向天上的上帝举手祷告。 (串)诗77:2

†[吕]我们来献心举（经点窜翻译的）手向天上的上帝祷告吧：

†[思]应向天上的大主，双手奉上我们的心！

†[当代]让我们举起双手，献上赤诚的心，向天上的上帝祷告：

†[新译]我们要向天上的　神，诚心举手祷告：

†[Wlb]宜向天上上帝、举手致心兮、

†[Xdv]我们该敞开心门，向天上的上帝祈求：

†[Kjv]Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

†[Nkjv]Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.

†[BBE]Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.

†[GNT] Let us open our hearts to God in heaven and pray,

†[NIV]Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say:

本会注释　　见@哀2:19@注释。这里的意思是为了使祈祷有效果，手和心都要举起来（见路18:10-14）。

哀3:42 我们犯罪背逆，你并不赦免。 (串)但9:5

†[吕]“我们悖逆背叛，你并不赦免呀。

†[思]正因为我们犯罪背命，你没有宽恕。

†[当代]“主啊，我们犯罪叛逆你，你并没有赦免我们。

†[新译]“我们犯罪悖逆，你并不赦免。

†[Wlb]我侪犯罪悖逆、尔未赦宥兮、

†[Xdv]我们背叛犯罪，你没有赦免我们。

†[Kjv]We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

†[Nkjv]We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned.

†[BBE]We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness.

†[GNT] "We have sinned and rebelled, and you, O Lord, have not forgiven us.

†[NIV]We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.

本会注释　　我们……你。在希伯来语中是强调性，说明百姓与他们上帝之间的惊人差别。第42节是从第37节开始的论点的总结。接下去几节回到对犹大受惩罚的描述。
　　赦免。希伯来语是salach，用于描述上帝的行为，而不是人的行为。该词常强调赦免所带来的免除惩罚的结果（耶36:3；摩7:2；见@王下24:4@注释）。这似乎是这里的最高理念。耶利米并不是说上帝不愿意饶恕犹大的罪并恢复她，因为祂将来会这样做（耶33:6-8），先知说的是上帝不豁免犹大所当受的处罚。

哀3:43 你自被怒气遮蔽，追赶我们；你施行杀戮，并不顾惜。 (串)哀2:2,17,21

†[吕]“你以怒气笼罩着自己，而追赶我们；你杀戮，并不顾惜；

†[思]你藏在盛怒之中，追击我们，杀死我们，毫不留情。

†[当代]你愤怒填胸地追赶我们，毫不留情地施以杀戮；

†[新译]你被怒气笼罩着，你追赶我们，杀戮我们，毫不顾惜。

†[Wlb]尔以怒自蔽、追迫我侪、施行诛戮、不加矜恤兮、

†[Xdv]你在盛怒下追赶我们；你毫不顾惜地杀戮我们。

†[Kjv]Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

†[Nkjv]You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and not pitied.

†[BBE]Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;

†[GNT] "You pursued us and killed us; your mercy was hidden by your anger,

†[NIV]You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you have slain without pity.

哀3:44 你以黑云遮蔽自己，以致祷告不得透入。 (串)本章8

†[吕]你以密云遮蔽着自己，以致人的祷告不能透入。

†[思]你隐在浓云深处，哀祷不能上达。

†[当代]你以密云遮盖自己，使我们的祷告不能穿过云霄。

†[新译]你用密云把自己遮蔽起来，以致我们的祷告不能达到你那里。

†[Wlb]尔以云自蔽、致祈祷不得达兮、

†[Xdv]你用密云遮蔽，使我们的祷告不能上达。

†[Kjv]Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

†[Nkjv]You have covered Yourself with a cloud, That prayer should not pass through.

†[BBE]Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.

†[GNT] By a cloud of fury too thick for our prayers to get through.

†[NIV]You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.

本会注释　　见第8节注释。犹大的罪如一堵墙，使她的祈祷无法穿越（见赛59:2）。

哀3:45 你使我们在万民中成为污秽和渣滓。 (串)林前4:13

†[吕]你使我们在万族之民中成了遗秽和垃圾。

†[思]你使我们在万民中，成了尘垢和废物。

†[当代]我们在万人中，已沦为废物渣滓！

†[新译]你使我们在万族中，成了渣滓和废物。

†[Wlb]尔使我于列民中、成为尘垢废物兮、

†[Xdv]你使我们在万民中成为垃圾，被人厌弃。

†[Kjv]Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

†[Nkjv]You have made us an offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.

†[BBE]You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples.

†[GNT] You have made us the garbage dump of the world.

†[NIV]You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.

本会注释　　污秽。指被扫除之物，就是垃圾或污物。

哀3:46 我们的仇敌都向我们大大张口。 (串)哀2:16

†[吕]“我们的仇敌都张开咀来调弄我们；

†[思]我们所有的仇人，都向我们大张其口。

†[当代]仇敌都向我们张牙舞爪，

†[新译]我们所有的仇敌，都张开口攻击我们。

†[BBE]The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.

†[GNT] "We are insulted and mocked by all our enemies.

†[NIV]All our enemies have opened their mouths wide against us.

本会注释　　第46-48节的希伯来首字母pe'和第49-51节的希伯来首字母'ayin，与正常的顺序是相反的（见哀4:16,17；见@哀2:16@注释）。

哀3:47 恐惧和陷坑，残害和毁灭，都临近我们。 (串)赛24:17耶48:43|赛51:19

†[吕]惊恐、陷坑、都临到我们身上了！破毁打破也来了！

†[思]为我们只有恐怖和陷阱，破坏和灭亡。

†[当代]恐惧与陷阱、残害和毁灭都落在我们身上。”

†[新译]我们遭遇的，只是恐惧、陷阱、毁坏和灭亡。”

†[Wlb]惊惶陷阱、我皆罹之、残害灭亡、我亦遭之兮、

†[Xdv]我们经历了灾难和破灭，在危险恐惧中过日子。

†[Kjv]Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

†[Nkjv]Fear and a snare have come upon us, Desolation and destruction.

†[BBE]Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction.

哀3:48 因我众民遭的毁灭，我就眼泪下流如河。 (串)耶4:19;9:1哀2:11

†[吕]我的眼直流泪河，都因我众民（原文：我人民的女子）遭受的破毁。

†[Kjv]Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

†[Nkjv]My eyes overflow with rivers of water For the destruction of the daughter of my people.

†[BBE]Rivers of water are running down from my eyes, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

†[GNT] My eyes flow with rivers of tears at the destruction of my people.

†[NIV]Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.

本会注释　　见诗119:136；哀1:16；2:18。

哀3:49 我的眼多多流泪，总不止息， (串)哀1:16

†[吕]“我的眼直流泪，不停止，没有休息，

†[思]我的眼泪涌流不止，始终不停，

†[Xdv]我眼泪滚滚，不断地涌流，

†[GNT] My heart is grieved when I see what has happened to the women of the city.

†[NIV]What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.

本会注释　　使我的心伤痛。可以理解为：一，不断的哭泣所造成的不适加深了诗人低落的情绪；二，他所看到的情景给他的心灵带来悲伤。后者更符合本卷的精神。

哀3:52 无故与我为仇的追逼我，象追雀鸟一样。 (串)诗35:7,19;69:4

†[GNT] They threw me alive into a pit and closed the opening with a stone.

†[NIV]They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;

本会注释　　牢狱。有人认为耶利米在第52-57节中述说自己在玛基雅牢狱中的经历（耶38:1-13）。可是没有向耶利米扔石头，或让他浸在水中的历史记录。如果根据寓意，那就可以把这段理解为整个民族的经验。
　　一块石头。希伯来语是'eben。尽管是单数形式，但似乎是泛指希伯来人扔石头的习惯。如押沙龙的尸体被扔进坑里，在上头堆了石头（撒下18:17）。如果把它作为单数理解，就可能指受苦的囚犯不但被丢进地牢，而且在入口处封上一块石头，防止他逃跑。

哀3:54 众水流过我头，我说：我命断绝了！ (串)诗69:2;124:4-5|本章18诗31:22

†[Nkjv]You have heard my voice: "Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help."

†[GNT] And when I begged you to listen to my cry, you heard.

†[NIV]You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief."

本会注释　　解救。希伯来语是rewachah，源于动词rewach。Rewachah 在圣经的其他地方只出现在出8:15，指“松缓”埃及的蛙灾，使埃及人有喘息的机会。

哀3:57 我求告你的日子，你临近我，说：不要惧怕！ (串)雅4:8

哀3:58 主啊，你伸明了我的冤；你救赎了我的命。 (串)诗35:23耶51:36|诗71:23

†[GNT] "You came to my rescue, Lord, and saved my life.

†[NIV]O Lord, you took up my case; you redeemed my life.

本会注释　　伸明了我的冤。耶和华是以色列的辩护者（见约壹2:1）。
　　救赎了我的命。这个词用来描述为近亲报血仇（在申19:6中被译为“报血仇的”），买回近亲所售出的产业（利25:25），或娶近亲的寡妻（得3:13节，译为“尽亲属的本分”）。所以耶和华是以色列的复仇者（见@申32:35@注释），她的救赎主（见@诗107:2@注释），和她的新丈夫（见@赛54:4-6@注释）。

哀3:59 耶和华啊，你见了我受的委屈；求你为我伸冤。 (串)诗9:4;35:23

哀3:63 求你观看，他们坐下，起来，都以我为歌曲。 (串)诗139:2|本章14

†[思]你看！他们或坐或立，我始终是他们嘲笑的对象。

†[GNT] "Punish them for what they have done, O Lord;

†[NIV]Pay them back what they deserve, O Lord , for what their hands have done.

本会注释　　施行。直译是“你将促成报应”。最好把第64-66节理解为预言耶和华将惩罚那些蹂躏犹大的人，而不是按表面形式理解为要求复仇的祈祷（见本书卷三第624页）。

哀3:65 你要使他们心里刚硬，使你的咒诅临到他们。
