Midrasch zu Jirmejahu 15:17
לֹֽא־יָשַׁ֥בְתִּי בְסוֹד־מְשַׂחֲקִ֖ים וָֽאֶעְלֹ֑ז מִפְּנֵ֤י יָֽדְךָ֙ בָּדָ֣ד יָשַׁ֔בְתִּי כִּֽי־זַ֖עַם מִלֵּאתָֽנִי׃ (ס)
Ich saß nicht in der Versammlung derer, die fröhlich sind, noch freute ich mich; Ich saß allein wegen deiner Hand; Denn du hast mich mit Empörung erfüllt.
Eikhah Rabbah
Rabbi Abba bar Kahana began: “I did not sit in the company of revelers and rejoice” (Jeremiah 15:17) – The congregation of Israel said before the Holy One blessed be He: Master of the universe: I have never entered the theaters and the circuses of the nations of the world and played and rejoiced with them.
“Because of Your hand I sat solitary” (Jeremiah 15:17) – the hand of Pharaoh touched me, and I did not sit solitary. The hand of Sennacherib touched me, and I did not sit solitary. When Your hand touched me, I sat solitary: “How does…sit solitary?” (Lamentations 1:1).
