Lamentations 3:14-21 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.… 1. The deep weighing of God's punishments for sin felt in times past doth often most effectually move the heart unto great lamentation. 2. Though grief and sorrow be naturally the effects of affliction, yet in the godly it must be, because of the sin committed, and not for the penalty sustained. 3. In recounting any former thing, we must take only so much thereof as may serve our turn. (1) That it may affect us the more. (2) That our minds be not employed about any other matter. (J. Udall.)
