Berean Standard Bible

“To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,”

Lamentations 3:34

Save as image

Study note

Lamentations 3:34-36 is a short group of three statements about injustice, each beginning a rhetorical question that the Lord does not approve of. They come after the speaker asserts that God does not willingly afflict, and they affirm God's concern for justice.
