Lamentations 3:34 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Lamentations 3:34

Theological / Devotional

To crush. A vivid reference probably to the custom of ancient conquerors of placing their feet upon the necks of conquered foes. Thus Darius the Great is depicted on the Behistun inscription with his foot upon the body of the usurper, Gaumata (see Vol. Ill, p. 70; see also illustration, Vol. I, p. 98).

Prisoners. Evidently a figure of all mankind as they stand before God.
