CERTAINLY if Ennius could pick out gold out of a dunghill, I may, by divine assistance, much better pick out golden matter out of such a golden mine as my text is, to enrich the souls of men withal.
如果埃纳斯能从粪堆中挑出金子，我在神的帮助下，更能从这样一个富含金矿的经文中挖掘出金子般的内容，来丰富人们的灵魂。
The best of painters [Apelles], to draw an exquisite Venus, had set before him an hundred choice and selected beauties, to take from one an eye, another a lip, a third a smile, a fourth an hand, and from each of them that special lineament in which the most excelled; but I have no need of any other scripture to be set before me to draw forth the excellency of the saints’ portion than that which I have now pitched upon; for the beauty, excellency, and glory of an hundred choice scriptures are epitomized in this one.
最优秀的画家(阿佩勒斯)要描绘一幅完美的维纳斯像，需要参考一百位精选的美人，从一个人那里取眼睛，从另一个人那里取嘴唇，从第三个人那里取微笑，从第四个人那里取手，从每个人那里取其最出众的特征。但我不需要任何其他经文来描绘圣徒所得之份的卓越，因为一百篇精选经文的美丽、卓越和荣耀都浓缩在这一段经文中。
The Jewish doctors and other writers differ about the time of Jeremiah’s penning this book of the Lamentations; but to be ignorant of the circumstance of time when this book was made, is such a crime as I suppose will not be charged upon any man’s account in the great day of our Lord Jesus.
犹太教博士和其他作家对于耶利米撰写《耶利米哀歌》的时间有不同看法；但对于这本书的成书时间一无所知，这种罪过我想在我们主耶稣的大日子里，不会算在任何人的账上。
Doubtless this book of the Lamentations was composed by Jeremiah in the time of the Babylonian captivity. In this book the prophet sadly laments and bewails the grievous calamities and miseries that had befallen the Jews, viz. the ruin of their state, the devastation of their land, the destruction of their glorious city and temple, which was the great wonder of the world, the profanation of all his holy things, the contemptible and deplorable condition of all sorts, ranks, and degrees of men; and then he complains of their sins as the procuring causes of all those calamities that God in his righteousness had inflicted upon them. He exhorts them also to patience under the mighty hand of God, and stirs them up to repent and reform, as they would have their sins pardoned, judgments removed, divine wrath pacified, their insulting enemies suppressed, and former acts and grants of favour and grace restored to them.
毫无疑问，这本《耶利米哀歌》是耶利米在巴比伦掳虏时期撰写的。在这本书中，这位先知悲伤地哀悼和哀叹犹太人所遭受的严重灾难和苦难，即他们国家的毁灭、土地的荒废、他们辉煌的城市和圣殿的毁坏(这是世界的奇迹)，他们所有神圣事物的亵渎，以及各种等级和阶层人们的卑微和可怜的处境；然后他抱怨他们的罪是上帝在公义中降临于他们的这些灾难的根源。他还劝诫他们在上帝大能的手下要忍耐，并激励他们悔改和改过，这样他们的罪就能得到赦免，审判就能被除去，神的愤怒就能平息，他们侮辱的仇敌就能被压制，以前的恩惠和恩典就能恢复。
But to come to the words of my text,
但让我来谈谈我这段经文的内容，
The Lord Jehovah, from Havah, he was. This name Jehovah is the most proper name of God, and it is never attributed to any but to God.
“耶和华”这个名字是上帝最恰当的名称，从未被归于任何人之上。
