Charles Ellicott Commentary Lamentations 1:22

"Let all their wickedness come before thee; And do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint." — Lamentations 1:22 (ASV)

Let all their wickedness ... — The prayer for a righteous retribution, the first natural prayer of the outraged, reminds us of Psalms 69, Psalms 109, and Psalms 137, yet more strongly of the language of the prophet himself in Jeremiah 18:21-23. It is something more than a prayer for revenge, and rests on the underlying thought that righteousness requires the punishment. It may be noted that some critics, on the strength of this parallelism, have ascribed Psalms 69 and Psalms 109 to Jeremiah.
