Charles Ellicott Commentary Lamentations 3:42

"We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned." — Lamentations 3:42 (ASV)

We have transgressed ... — The verses that follow (Lamentations 3:42–47) give the prayer which answers to the call of Lamentations 3:41. Both pronouns are emphatic: The suppliant has sinned and God has not yet pardoned, in the sense of ceasing to punish.
