Lamentations 3:18

Context

I have lost all hope of deliverance 1  from the Lord.”

Lamentations 3:24

Context

3:24 “My portion is the Lord,” I have said to myself, 2 

so I will put my hope in him.

Lamentations 3:30

Context

3:30 Let him offer his cheek to the one who hits him; 3 

let him have his fill of insults.

1 tn Heb “and my hope from the Lord.” The hope is for deliverance. The words, “I have lost all…” have been supplied in the translation in order to clarify the Hebrew idiom for the English reader.

2 tn Heb “My soul said…” The term נַפְשִׁי (nafshi, “my soul”) is a synecdoche of part (= my soul) for the whole person (= I ).

3 tn Heb “to the smiter.”
