■ 예레미야애가 5장
1. 여호와여 우리의 당한 것을 기억하시고 우리의 수욕을 감찰하옵소서
Remember , O Lord , what is come upon us: consider , and behold our reproach .
2. 우리 기업이 외인에게, 우리 집들도 외인에게 돌아갔나이다
Our inheritance is turned to strangers , our houses to aliens .
3. 우리는 아비 없는 외로운 자식이오며 우리 어미는 과부 같으니
We are orphans and fatherless , our mothers are as widows .
4. 우리가 은을 주고 물을 마시며 값을 주고 섶을 얻으오며
We have drunken our water for money ; our wood is sold unto us.

Our necks are under persecution : we labour , and have no rest .

Princes are hanged up by their hand : the faces of elders were not honoured .

They took the young men to grind , and the children fell under the wood .
14. 노인은 다시 성문에 앉지 못하며 소년은 다시 노래하지 못하나이다
The elders have ceased from the gate , the young men from their musick .
15. 우리 마음에 희락이 그쳤고 우리의 무도가 변하여 애통이 되었사오며
The joy of our heart is ceased ; our dance is turned into mourning .

Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord , and we shall be turned ; renew our days as of old .
22. 주께서 우리를 아주 버리셨사오며 우리에게 진노하심이 특심하시니이다
But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

【애5:1 JFB】애5:1-22. Epiphonema, or a Closing Recapitulation of the Calamities Treated in the Previous Elegies.
1. (시89:50, 51).
【애5:1 CWC】"The touching significance of this book lies in the fact that it is the disclosure of the love and sorrow of Jehovah for the very people He is chastening -- a sorrow wrought by the Spirit in the heart of Jeremiah. Compare 렘13:7; 마23:36-38: 롬9:1-5." -- Scofield Reference Bible.
"As regards its external structure, the composition of the book, both as a whole and in its several parts, is so artistic, that anything like it can hardly be found in any other book of Holy Scriptures." -- Lange's Commentary.
In the first place it contains just five songs, each limited to a single chapter. In the second place, there is a marked climax in the third song, with an ascent and a descent, a crescendo and decrescendo movement before and after it. About the middle of this song at verse eighteen, the prophet seems to have reached the deepest night of his misery, "but where the exigency is greatest, help is nearest. The night is succeeded by the morning (vv. 19-21), and with verse 22 breaks the full day."
Each of the songs contains 22 verses according to the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet; in other words, it is an acrostic -- a favorite form of Hebrew poetry. But In the third song each verse is divided into three members making in our English setting 66 verses. Other of its poetical features we can not dwell upon.
Analysis of the Chapters.
In chapter 1 the lament is over the ruin of Jerusalem and Judah, and is divided into two parts of equal length. The first is a description of the city, and the second the lamentation strictly considered. In both the speaker is the prophet himself (or an ideal person like the daughter of Zion, for example).
In chapter 2, the lament is over the destruction of the city, which is described and attributed to Jehovah. This also is in two nearly even sections. Verses 1-10 describe the judgment; verses 12-22 is the lamentation proper.
In chapter 3 is the climax where Israel's brighter day is contrasted with the gloomy night of sorrow experienced by the prophet himself. There are three parts in this chapter, divided as follows: Verses 1-18, 19-42, 43-66.
In chapter 4, Zion's guilt and punishment are described, the whole consisting of four parts which will be readily distinguished as verses 1-6; 7-11; 12-16; 17-22.
In chapter 5, the distress and hope of the prisoners and fugitives are expressed in the form of a prayer. Here the author lets the people speak, not as an ideal person but in the first person plural as a concrete multitude. There is an introduction (v. 1), two principal parts, verses 2-7 and 8-16, and a conclusion, verses 17-22.
For the above analysis of the chapter we are indebted to Lange.
Golden Texts.
There are some richly laden verses in this beautiful book, full of comfort and instruction for the saint and of homiletic value to the preacher. We indicate a few: 1:12; 1:16; 2:13; 2:14; 3:21-26; 3:31-33; 3:37; 3:39-41; 5:7; 5:16-17; 5:21.
【애5:1 MHCC】 The Jewish nation supplicating the Divine favour.
애5:1-16 Is any afflicted? Let him pray; and let him in prayer pour out his complaint to God. The people of God do so here; they complain not of evils feared, but of evils felt. If penitent and patient under what we suffer for the sins of our fathers, we may expect that He who punishes, will return in mercy to us. They acknowledge, Woe unto us that we have sinned! All our woes are owing to our own sin and folly. Though our sins and God's just displeasure cause our sufferings, we may hope in his pardoning mercy, his sanctifying grace, and his kind providence. But the sins of a man's whole life will be punished with vengeance at last, unless he obtains an interest in Him who bare our sins in his own body on the tree.
애5:17-22 The people of God express deep concern for the ruins of the temple, more than for any other of their calamities. But whatever changes there are on earth, God is still the same, and remains for ever wise and holy, just and good; with Him there is no variableness nor shadow of turning. They earnestly pray to God for mercy and grace; Turn us to thee, O Lord. God never leaves any till they first leave him; if he turns them to him in a way of duty, no doubt he will quickly return to them in a way of mercy. If God by his grace renew our hearts, he will by his favour renew our days. Troubles may cause our hearts to be faint, and our eyes to be dim, but the way to the mercy-seat of our reconciled God is open. Let us, in all our trials, put our whole trust and confidence in his mercy; let us confess our sins, and pour out our hearts before him. Let us watch against repinings and despondency; for we surely know, that it shall be well in the end with all that trust in, fear, love, and serve the Lord. Are not the Lord's judgments in the earth the same as in Jeremiah's days? Let Zion then be remembered by us in our prayers, and her welfare be sought above every earthly joy. Spare, Lord, spare thy people, and give not thine heritage to reproach, for the heathen to rule over them.
【애5:2 JFB】2. Our inheritance—"Thine inheritance" (시79:1). The land given of old to us by Thy gift.
【애5:3 JFB】3. fatherless—Our whole land is full of orphans [Calvin]. Or, "we are fatherless," being abandoned by Thee our "Father" (렘3:19), [Grotius].
【애5:4 JFB】4. water for money—The Jews were compelled to pay the enemy for the water of their own cisterns after the overthrow of Jerusalem; or rather, it refers to their sojourn in Babylon; they had to pay tax for access to the rivers and fountains. Thus, "our" means the water which we need, the commonest necessary of life.
our wood—In Judea each one could get wood without pay; in Babylon, "our wood," the wood we need, must be paid for.
【애5:5 JFB】5. Literally, "On our necks we are persecuted"; that is, Men tread on our necks (시66:12; 사51:23; compare 수10:24). The extremest oppression. The foe not merely galled the Jews face, back, and sides, but their neck. A just retribution, as they had been stiff in neck against the yoke of God (대하30:8, Margin;느9:29; 사48:4).
【애5:6 JFB】6. given … hand to—in token of submission (see on 렘50:15).
to … Egyptians—at the death of Josiah (대하36:3, 4).
Assyrians—that is, the Chaldeans who occupied the empire which Assyria had held. So 렘2:18.
to be satisfied with bread—(신28:48).
【애5:7 JFB】7. (렘31:29).
borne their iniquities—that is, the punishment of them. The accumulated sins of our fathers from age to age, as well as our own, are visited on us. They say this as a plea why God should pity them (compare 겔18:2, &c.).
【애5:8 JFB】8. Servants … ruled … us—Servants under the Chaldean governors ruled the Jews (느5:15). Israel, once a "kingdom of priests" (출19:6), is become like Canaan, "a servant of servants," according to the curse (창9:25). The Chaldeans were designed to be "servants" of Shem, being descended from Ham (창9:26). Now through the Jews' sin, their positions are reversed.
【애5:9 JFB】9. We gat our bread with … peril—that is, those of us left in the city after its capture by the Chaldeans.
because of … sword of … wilderness—because of the liability to attack by the robber Arabs of the wilderness, through which the Jews had to pass to get "bread" from Egypt (compare 애5:6).
【애5:10 JFB】10. As an oven is scorched with too much fire, so our skin with the hot blast of famine (Margin, rightly, "storms," like the hot simoom). Hunger dries up the pores so that the skin becomes like as if it were scorched by the sun (욥30:30; 시119:83).
【애5:11 JFB】11. So in just retribution Babylon itself should fare in the end. Jerusalem shall for the last time suffer these woes before her final restoration (Z전14:2).
【애5:12 JFB】12. hanged … by their hand—a piece of wanton cruelty invented by the Chaldeans. Grotius translates, "Princes were hung by the hand of the enemy"; hanging was a usual mode of execution (창40:19).
elders—officials (애4:16).
【애5:13 JFB】13. young men … grind—The work of the lowest female slave was laid on young men (유16:21; 욥31:10).
children fell under … wood—Mere children had to bear burdens of wood so heavy that they sank beneath them.
【애5:14 JFB】14. Aged men in the East meet in the open space round the gate to decide judicial trials and to hold social converse (욥29:7, 8).
【애5:16 JFB】16. The crown—all our glory, the kingdom and the priesthood (욥19:9; 시89:39, 44).
【애5:17 JFB】17. (애1:22; 2:11).
【애5:18 JFB】18. foxes—They frequent desolate places where they can freely and fearlessly roam.
【애5:19 JFB】19. (시102:12). The perpetuity of God's rule over human affairs, however He may seem to let His people be oppressed for a time, is their ground of hope of restoration.
【애5:20 JFB】20. for ever—that is, for "so long a time."
【애5:21 JFB】21. (시80:3; 렘31:18). "Restore us to favor with Thee, and so we shall be restored to our old position" [Grotius]. Jeremiah is not speaking of spiritual conversion, but of that outward turning whereby God receives men into His fatherly favor, manifested in bestowing prosperity [Calvin]. Still, as Israel is a type of the Church, temporal goods typify spiritual blessings; and so the sinner may use this prayer for God to convert him.
