Commentary on Lamentations 3:56

Theological / Devotional

Breathing. Heb. rewachah, from the verb rewach, “to be relieved.” Rewachah is used only one other place in the Bible, Ex. 8:15, where it refers to the “respite” granted Egypt from the plague of frogs; the Egyptians were given a chance to catch their breath. While the meaning in this verse is not entirely clear, the sense seems to be, “Do not hide thine ear to my cry for respite.”
