John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

The Prophet means that it is good to hope and remain silent as to God's salvation, to bear patiently all troubles until He succors you. We must not require that God always appear to us or His favor always shine forth; the flesh shrinks from adversity, yet faith itself would be extinguished if we demanded perpetual ease and safety.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Here the clouds disperse and hope returns to save the heart from breaking. The church is like Moses's bush: burning yet unconsumed, persecuted by men but not forsaken by God. Though cast down, it is not destroyed, refined as silver in the furnace but never consumed as dross.

Commenting on Lamentations 3:21-36

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

Hope grounds patient waiting; where there is no hope, there will be no quiet waiting. A man should hold his peace under affliction, owning God's hand and his own desert, yet not murmuring or charging God foolishly. Wait quietly for the Lord's salvation, temporal deliverance from present evils and spiritual, eternal salvation.
