Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible: Lamentations: Lamentations Introduction
Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible, by Matthew Henry
It is evident that Jeremiah was the author of the Lamentations which bear his name. The book was not written till after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. May we be led to consider sin as the cause of all our calamities, and under trials exercise submission, repentance, faith, and prayer, with the hope of promised deliverance through God's mercy.
