Charles Ellicott Commentary Lamentations 3:15

"He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me with wormwood." — Lamentations 3:15 (ASV)

Bitterness. —The Hebrew gives the plural, bitternesses. With these, the sorrows which are like the bitter herbs of life (the same word is found in Exodus 12:8 and Numbers 9:11), the mourner had been filled even to satiety, just as he had been made drunk with wormwood.
