Lamentations 3:28 meaning and explanation

Let him sit alone in silence, for God has disciplined him.

Lamentations 3:28, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The speaker is the man of verse 1, voicing the grief of Jerusalem after its destruction, and verses 27 to 30 continue his counsel about bearing the yoke while young. Sitting alone in silence pictures a person accepting hardship without complaint, not because God is cruel but because discipline is allowed to do its work.
