This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lam_3:45 Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
Ver. 45. Thou hast made us as the offscouring.] Eradicationem, saith the Vulgate; rasuram potius, not the rooting out, but the scrapings off. As the Jews did rather extrinsecus radere peccata quam intrinsecus eradicare, {a} shave off their sins outwardly, than root them out from within: so God made them as despicable as the parings of a pavement, or of a leprous house.
And refuse.] See 1Co_4:13. {See Trapp on "1Co_4:13"}
{a} Bern. - Exverras, scobes et ramenta. Excreamenta et excrements.
