Lamentations 3:4-6

My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. My flesh and my skin hath he made old - (, "Thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me, and my leanness rising up").

Verse 5. He hath builded against me - mounds, as against a besieged city, so as to allow none to escape (so ; ). Verse 6. Set me. Henderson refers this to the custom of placing the dead in a sitting posture. In dark places - sepulchres. As those 'dead long since,' so Jeremiah and his people are consigned to oblivion (Psalms 88:5; ; ).
