The Hebrew word used here is "לֵב" (lev), which often refers to the heart or inner being. This suggests that God's actions are not driven by a desire to cause pain or suffering. In the broader scriptural context, this aligns with God's nature as compassionate and merciful, as seen in <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6</a>, where God is described as "compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness." This phrase reassures believers that any discipline or hardship allowed by God is not out of malice but is part of His divine plan for growth and redemption.<p><b>afflict</b><br />The term "afflict" comes from the Hebrew word "עָנָה" (anah), which means to oppress or humble. In the historical context of Lamentations, the Israelites were experiencing the consequences of their disobedience and idolatry, leading to the Babylonian exile. This affliction was a form of divine discipline intended to bring the people back to a place of repentance and reliance on God. It is crucial to understand that affliction, in this sense, is not punitive but corrective, aiming to restore the relationship between God and His people.<p><b>or grieve</b><br />The word "grieve" is translated from the Hebrew "יָגָה" (yagah), which means to cause sorrow or distress. This highlights the emotional aspect of suffering. God, in His omniscience, understands the depth of human sorrow and does not take pleasure in it. The grief experienced by the "sons of men" is a result of living in a fallen world, yet it is also a tool used by God to draw individuals closer to Him. The New Testament echoes this sentiment in <a href="/2_corinthians/7-10.htm">2 Corinthians 7:10</a>, where godly sorrow leads to repentance and salvation.<p><b>the sons of men</b><br />This phrase, "the sons of men," is a Hebrew idiom "בְּנֵי אָדָם" (benei adam), referring to humanity in general. It emphasizes the universal nature of God's dealings with people. Every human being, regardless of status or background, is subject to the same divine principles of justice and mercy. Historically, this reflects the collective experience of the Israelites, but it also extends to all of humanity, underscoring the consistent and impartial nature of God's character.
