| Lamentations 5:7 | Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities. | Iniquities. This was the usual complaint of the Jews, (chap. 31:29.) as if they had committed no offence themselves. If any virtuous people were involved in the common ruin, they bore it with resignation, and acknowledged that they had deserved it, 1 Esdras 9:6., and 2 Esdras 1:6., and Esther 14:6., and Daniel 3:29. |
