Indeed, He keeps turning His hand against me all day long.
When Jeremiah says God is turned against him, he means God has become his enemy, meeting him like a foe prepared for battle. The constancy of this, His hand against him all day, shows no truce, no rest; God manifests the rigor of His vengeance without limit or end.
AI summary
God is angry with His own people, yet it comes as a rod to correct, not a sword to destroy. Walk in darkness though we may, we must not quarrel with affliction, for His anger is just and His chastening, though grievous now, mixed with mercy.

Commenting on Lamentations 3:1-20
He has turned His artillery against me and made me the butt of His arrows, smiting with blow after blow without ceasing. This was fulfilled in Christ, the surety, smitten and stricken of God, while His hand of grace turned upon His people.
