John Trapp on Lamentations 1:12

Ver. 12. Is it nothing to you all ye that paſſe by the way] Siſte viator, Stay paſſenger, haſt not a tear to ſhed? &c. Sanchez thinks that this is Jeruſalem's Epitaph made by her ſelf, as to be engraven on her tomb to move compaſſion. The Septuagint have [non-Latin text not transcribed]; Hei, ad vos, ſubaudi clamo: Woe and Alaſſe, cry I to you. Make ye nothing of my miſery? I wiſh the like may never befal you: Ne ſit ſuper vos; for ſo ſome render the words.

Behold and ſee if there be any ſorrow like unto my ſorrow] What we ſee in the water, ſeemeth greater then it is: ſo in the waters of Marah: See chap. 3.1.

All our ſufferings are but chips of his croſs, ſaith Luther, not worthy to be named in the ſame day, &c.

Wherein the Lord hath afflicted me] This was yet no ſmal allay to her grief, that God had done it. The Stoicks, who held that all came by deſtiny, were noted for their patience, or rather tolerance, and aequanimity in all conditions.
