Lamentations4:22
22. (Is 40:2). Thou hast been punished enough: the end of thy punishment is at hand.
no more carry thee ... into captivity--that is, by the Chaldeans. The Romans carried them away subsequently. The full accomplishment of this prophecy must therefore refer to the Jews' final restoration.
discover--By the severity of His punishments on thee, God shall let men see how great was thy sin (Jr 49:10). God "covers" sin when He forgives it (Psa 32:1, 5). He "discovers," or "reveals," it, when He punishes it (Job 20:27). Jr 49:10 shows that Margin is wrong, "carry captive" (this rendering is as in Na 2:7; compare "discovered," Margin).
