This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Lam_2:14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

Ver. 14. Thy prophets.] Thine, and not mine; for thou art miserable by thine own election, accessary to thine own ruin.



Have seen vain and foolish things for thee.] Visions of vanity, sapless and savourless stuff; the fruit, or rather froth, of their own fancies. {Jer_23:9-14}



And they have not discovered thine iniquity.] Conviction maketh way for conversion, and so preventeth utter subversion.



But have seen for thee false burdens,] viz., Against Babylon, in confidence whereof thou hast been hardened and heartened in thy sinful practices, to thine utter undoing.



And causes of banishment,] scil., Eventually, and as it hath proved.
