The Bible

 

Lamentations 4:17

Study

       

17 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

Commentary

 

Sons of the stranger

  

'Sons of the stranger' signify counterfeit truths, or falsities. 'Our sons' signify the doctrines of truth, and 'our daughters,' the doctrines of good, as in Psalm 144:11-12.
