In the context of Jeremiah, the prophet often expresses sorrow over the impending judgment on Judah due to their idolatry and disobedience. The "brokenness" can be seen as both personal and national, symbolizing the spiritual and moral decay of the people. This lament echoes the broader biblical theme of mourning over sin and its consequences, similar to the laments found in the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/38-8.htm">Psalm 38:8</a>).<p><b>my wound is grievous!</b><br>The imagery of a grievous wound suggests severe and incurable pain, often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the consequences of sin and rebellion against God. In Jeremiah's context, it signifies the deep spiritual and physical affliction that Judah faces due to their covenant unfaithfulness. This can be compared to the wounds described in <a href="/isaiah/1-5.htm">Isaiah 1:5-6</a>, where the nation is depicted as being sick from head to toe due to their sins.<p><b>But I said, “This is truly my sickness,</b><br>Here, the acknowledgment of "my sickness" indicates a personal acceptance of the condition. It reflects a recognition of the inevitability of suffering due to sin, aligning with the biblical principle of personal responsibility for one's actions. This acceptance is reminiscent of the confessions found in Lamentations, where the people acknowledge their sins and the resulting judgment (<a href="/lamentations/3-39.htm">Lamentations 3:39-42</a>).<p><b>and I must bear it.”</b><br>The phrase "I must bear it" signifies a resigned acceptance of the consequences. This reflects the biblical theme of enduring suffering with patience and faith, as seen in the lives of other prophets and figures like Job, who bore his afflictions while maintaining his faith in God (<a href="/job/13-15.htm">Job 13:15</a>). It also points to the New Testament teaching of bearing one's cross, as Jesus instructed His followers to do (<a href="/matthew/16-24.htm">Matthew 16:24</a>), highlighting the call to endure trials as part of the Christian journey.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>The prophet who is lamenting the state of Judah and expressing personal and communal suffering.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, facing impending judgment and exile due to their idolatry and disobedience to God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The event that Jeremiah is prophesying about, where the people of Judah will be taken captive by Babylon as a consequence of their sins.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/acknowledgment_of_suffering.htm">Acknowledgment of Suffering</a></b><br>Recognize that suffering is a part of the human experience and can be a result of personal or communal sin.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/personal_responsibility.htm">Personal Responsibility</a></b><br>Accepting one's own role in suffering, as Jeremiah acknowledges his "sickness" and the need to bear it.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_sovereignty.htm">Trust in God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Even in suffering, trust that God is in control and has a purpose for allowing trials.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/repentance_and_restoration.htm">Repentance and Restoration</a></b><br>Use times of suffering as opportunities for repentance and seeking restoration with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_god's_deliverance.htm">Hope in God's Deliverance</a></b><br>Remember that God promises deliverance and healing, even if it is not immediate.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 10</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_stance_on_overthinking.htm">What defines spiritual sickness?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_god_permit_divorce_despite_hating_it.htm">Does God allow divorce despite hating it?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_jer._35_19_conflict_with_covenant_breaks.htm">Jeremiah 35:19 - Does the promise of perpetual blessings for the Rechabites conflict with other scriptures that suggest Israel's covenants can be broken?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what's_the_gospel_of_the_kingdom.htm">What is the Gospel of the Kingdom about?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(19) <span class= "bld">Woe is me . . .</span>--From this verse to the end of the chapter we have, with the prophet's characteristic dramatic vividness, the lamentation of the daughter of Israel in her captivity, bewailing the transgressions that had led to it.
