Lamentations 2:11 Summary

[This verse is about a person who is deeply sad and crying because of the suffering of their people, especially the children and infants. The speaker's heart is broken because of the destruction of Jerusalem, and they are pouring out their emotions to God. This reminds us that God cares about our suffering and pain, as seen in Matthew 25:31-46, where Jesus teaches that whatever we do to the least of His brothers and sisters, we do to Him. We can trust that God is near to the brokenhearted, as promised in Psalm 34:18.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the phrase 'My eyes fail from weeping' in Lamentations 2:11?

This phrase highlights the depth of the speaker's emotional pain and sorrow, similar to what is expressed in Psalm 119:136, where the psalmist's eyes pour out streams of tears because people do not keep God's law.

Why does the speaker's heart 'pour out in grief' over the destruction of Jerusalem?

The speaker is grieving because of the suffering of innocent children and infants, which is a theme also seen in Exodus 1:22, where Pharaoh orders the killing of every Hebrew boy, and in Matthew 2:16-18, where Herod orders the killing of all boys in Bethlehem.

What is the 'destruction of the daughter of my people' that the speaker is mourning?

The destruction refers to the devastation of Jerusalem and its people, as described in Lamentations 1:1, where the city is left desolate and lonely, and in Jeremiah 52:12-16, where the Babylonians burn the temple and break down the city walls.

How does this verse relate to the idea of God's judgment?

This verse illustrates the consequences of God's judgment, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:15 and Leviticus 26:14-39, where God warns of the punishments that will come if His people disobey Him, and in Lamentations 1:5 and 3:1-18, where the prophet acknowledges that God's judgment is just and righteous.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I can demonstrate compassion and empathy towards those who are suffering, just like the speaker in this verse?
  2. How can I balance my own emotional pain and sorrow with the need to trust in God's sovereignty and goodness, as expressed in Romans 8:28 and Psalm 23:4?
  3. In what ways can I identify with the speaker's sense of helplessness and despair, and how can I find hope in the midst of difficult circumstances, as seen in Psalm 42:11 and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4?
  4. What are some practical ways that I can 'mourn with those who mourn', as commanded in Romans 12:15, and support those who are suffering in my community?

Gill's Exposition on Lamentations 2:11

Mine eyes do fail with tears,.... According to Aben Ezra, everyone of the elders before mentioned said this; but rather they are the words of the Prophet Jeremiah, who had wept his eyes dry, or

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Lamentations 2:11

Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Lamentations 2:11

This whole verse is but expressive of the prophet’ s great affliction for the miseries come upon the Jews: he wept himself almost blind, his passion had disturbed his bodily humours, that his bowels were troubled; his gall lying under his liver, upon this disturbance was vomited up: they are all no more than expressions of very great affliction and sorrow. For the destination of the daughter of my people; for the miseries befallen the Jews: he had mourned for their sins before, and for their plagues too which he had in prospect, ; he now mourns for them as being come upon them: which mourning considered only as for their miseries, spake no more than the prophet’ s good nature and love to his country; but considered as the indication of God’ s wrath and displeasure, was also a godly sorrow. Because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city; the children and sucklings fainted and swooned, either for want of water, or bread, or milk in their mothers’ or nurses’ breasts during the famine, occasioned by the long siege of the city. This appears in the next verse.

Trapp's Commentary on Lamentations 2:11

Lamentations 2:11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.Ver. 11. Mine eyes do fail with tears.] Those fountains (as the Hebrew word signifieth) are even drawn dry. I have wept till I can weep no more, as David did; or I have wept myself blind, as Faustus the son of Vortigern (once king of England) is said to have done. My bowels are troubled.] Heb., Bemudded. See Lamentations 1:20. My liver is poured upon the earth.] I have well nigh vomited up my gall. For the destruction.] Heb., The breach even to shivers, as young trees or ships are broken by tempests. Because the children and sucklings swoon in the streets.] Miserabile etiam hostibus spectaculum; a rueful sight.

Ellicott's Commentary on Lamentations 2:11

(11) My liver is poured upon the earth . . .—The phrase is not found elsewhere, but admits of an easy explanation. The “liver,” like the “heart” and the “bowels,” is thought of as the centre of all intense emotions, both of joy or sorrow (Proverbs 7:23). As such it is represented as giving way without restraint (comp. Lamentations 2:19), under the pressure of the horror caused by the calamities which the next words paint, by the starving children who fainted for hunger in the streets of the city.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Lamentations 2:11

Verse 11. Swoon in the streets of the city.] Through the excess of the famine.

Cambridge Bible on Lamentations 2:11

11–17. Lament over Zion’s exposure to the mockery of her enemies.

Barnes' Notes on Lamentations 2:11

Troubled - See the margin reference note. Liver - As the heart was regarded by the Jews as the seat of the intellect, so the liver (or bowels) was supposed to be the seat of the emotions.

Whedon's Commentary on Lamentations 2:11

THE , Lamentations 2:11-16.11, 12. Liver is poured… earth — This language occurs nowhere else in the Old Testament, and the exact force of it is doubtful. “My soul is poured out” occurs in two passages, but this is easier.
