Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - Hath turned aside my ways; i.e. hath caused me to go astray. Comp. Psalm 146:9, "The way of the ungodly he maketh crooked," i.e. he leadeth them to destruction. Made me desolate; or, made me stunned ("astonied," Ezra 9:3 in our Bible). So Lamentations 1:13, 16.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) He hath turned aside.--The terror caused by the lion turns the traveller from his path, and there is no other; and then comes the attack by which he is torn in pieces.He hath made me desolate.--Better, made me astonied, as in Ezra 9:3. The verb (which occurs forty times in Jeremiah's prophecies and three times in Lam.), paints the stupefaction of terror.
