Lamentations 3:49

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not,.... From weeping, as the Targum: the prophet was continually weeping; the distresses of his people were always uppermost in his mind; and which so affected him, that it drew tears from his eyes, which constantly trickled down his cheeks:

without any intermission; or, "without intermissions" {n}; there were no stops or pauses in his grief, and in the expressions of it: or it may be rendered, "because there were no intermissions" {o}; that is, of the miseries of his people; so Jarchi,

"because there were no changes and passing away;''

that is of evils; and to the same purpose the Targum,

"because there is none that intermits my distress, and speaks comforts to me.''


{n} twgph Nyam "a non intermissionibus", Montanus, Calvin; "sine intervallis", Cocceius.
{o} "Eo quod nullae sunt intermissiones", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Tigurine version.
