Komentaryo sa Mga Panaghoy 3:34: Tze'enah Ure'enah & Rashi

“Crush” [3:34]. God does not desire to crush the person under his feet, but the sins do this.

By crushing underfoot. This refers back to, “For He does not torment willfully by crushing underfoot, etc. nor through the miscarriage of one’s justice, etc. nor by aggrieving a man in his dispute.” All these, God did not condone. He did not approve of them, and it did not enter His thought to do so.²⁸Alternatively, ‘by crushing underfoot’ refers to Nevuchadnetzar. (Midrash Eichah 3:30)
