Charles Spurgeon Commentary Lamentations 3:14

"I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day." — Lamentations 3:14 (ASV)

I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

It is just so with a man who is under a sense of sin. His companions ask him why he is so melancholy; he has an attack of the mopes, they say. They do not want his society, they will chase him from their midst. I marvel not that they want not his company, for well do I know that he wants not theirs, but this adds much to his grief, to find that they make derision and laughter of his woe.
