Jeremiah 8:18

The language of the people, being long shut up in their cities, and finding no relief, at last faint, Lamentations 4:17. But more probably the prophet now seems to speak his own resentments, how greatly the calamity of his people did affect him; the like Isaiah 22:4: when he would sometimes refresh himself with the comfortable refreshments of nature, the thoughts of his people's misery do so afflict him, that his heart is ready to faint, to sink within him.
