Jeremiah 10:19

The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 10:19

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

It is rather doubtful (as in the parallel passage, ) whether the speaker here is the prophet, or "the daughter of my people," who, in , is called upon to "make most bitter lamentation."

Of course, the prophet cannot dissociate himself from his people; and we rosy therefore, perhaps, consider both references united. Hurt; literally, breach; a term so used for political calamities. A grief; rather, my grief; but "grief" is meant to include both physical and mental sufferings (literally, my sickness).
