Charles Ellicott Commentary Lamentations 3:40

"Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah." — Lamentations 3:40 (ASV)

Let us search ... — Warnings against murmurs are followed by counsels which point to a more excellent way. Suffering calls a person to self-scrutiny. We should seek to know the sins which it is meant to punish and correct.

To the Lord. — The preposition is an emphatic one: even to the Lord. There is to be no stopping halfway in the work of conversion.
