The Hebrew root here is "עָשָׂה" (asah), meaning "to make" or "to do." It reflects the understanding that God is actively involved in the affairs of nations and individuals. Historically, this is a recognition of divine judgment, where the people of Judah see their plight as a direct result of God's will, emphasizing the belief in God's ultimate authority and control over human destiny.<p><b>scum</b><br />The term "scum" is translated from the Hebrew word "סִיחַ" (siach), which can mean "offscouring" or "something despised." This word paints a vivid picture of utter worthlessness and rejection. In the historical context of Lamentations, this reflects the deep humiliation and degradation experienced by the Israelites during the Babylonian exile. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments and the resulting loss of dignity and honor.<p><b>and refuse</b><br />"Refuse" comes from the Hebrew "מָאוֹס" (maos), meaning "rejected" or "despised." This further emphasizes the lowly state to which the people have been reduced. In the ancient Near Eastern context, being considered refuse among nations signifies a complete loss of status and respect. This phrase underscores the severity of the judgment that has befallen the people, serving as a call to repentance and a return to covenant faithfulness.<p><b>among the nations</b><br />This phrase situates the experience of Judah within the broader international context. The Hebrew "בַּגּוֹיִם" (bagoyim) refers to "among the nations" or "among the Gentiles." Historically, this reflects the dispersion and exile of the Jewish people, who found themselves scattered and living as minorities in foreign lands. Scripturally, it highlights the contrast between God's chosen people and the surrounding nations, serving as a poignant reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the loss of divine protection and favor.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/lamentations/3.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(45) <span class= "bld">In the midst of the people.</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">peoples: i.e., </span>the heathen nations of the world.
