Lamentations 3:60

“Thou hast seen all their vengeance, etc.] The spirit of revenge in them; their wrath and fury, and how they burn with a desire of doing mischief; as well as their revengeful actions, carriage, and behaviour: [and] all their imaginations against me; their secret contrivances of mischief, their plots and schemes they devise to do hurt unto me.”

“imaginations--devices (Jer 11:19). Their vengeance--means their malice. Jeremiah gives his conduct, when plotted against by his foes, as an example how the Jews should bring their wrongs at the hands of the Chaldeans before God.”

“A prayer for deliverance and for vengeance upon his enemies. Lamentations 3:55 Out of the low dungeon - “The lowest pit” of Psalms 88:6. Some consider that Psalms 69:0 was composed by Jeremiah, and is the prayer referred to here (Jeremiah 38:6 note). Lamentations 3:56 Thou hast heard - In sending Ebedmelech to deliver me. The next clause signifies “Hide not thine ear to my relief to my cry,” i. e. to my cry for relief. Lamentations 3:58 God now appears as the prophet’s next of kin, pleading the lawsuits of his soul, i. e. the controversies which concern his salvation. and rescuing his life, in jeopardy through the malice of his enemies. Lamentations 3:59 Wrong - Done to him by the perversion…”

“Seen - Thou hast been a witness to all their fury. Lamentations 3:63”

“Lam 3:59; Psa 10:14; Jer 11:19, Jer 11:20 Lamentations 3:61”
