Commentary on Lamentations 3:13

Theological / Devotional

My reins. Literally, “my kidneys,” a figure for the viscera in general, once thought to be the seat of emotions (see on Lam. 2:11). God’s arrows have struck at the very vitals of the nation, not only physically, but psychologically (see v. 14). “Reins” in this sense is a common expression with Jeremiah (Jer. 11:20 ; 12:2; 17:10; 20:12).
