Commentary
Commentary on Lamentations 3:58
Theological / DevotionalPleaded the causes. That is, pleaded the cases. Jehovah is Israel’s advocate (see 1 John 2:1).
Redeemed. This term is used to describe the action of a near kinsman in avenging the blood of a slain man (Deut. 19:6, translated “avenger”), in buying back property sold by a relative (Lev. 25:25), or in marrying a widowed kinswoman (Ruth 3:13, translated “do the kinsman’s part”). Thus Jehovah is Israel’s avenger (see on Deut. 32:35), her redeemer (see on Ps. 107:2), and her new husband (see on Isa. 54:4-6).
