Lamentations3:17
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace : I forgat prosperity .
Peace, here signifieth prosperity, rather than a freedom from war. Though during the siege they were far from peace in a strict sense, yet in their captivity they had that peace, but both their minds were far off from quiet, and their persons from prosperity, the Prophet owneth God as the cause of this.
They had in Canaan lived prosperously, but now they thought of it no more, nor understood what such a thing meant.
