Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:42-54 The more the prophet looked on the desolations, the more he was grieved. Here is one word of comfort. While they continued weeping, they continued waiting; and neither did nor would expect relief and succour from any but the Lord.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 49. - Trickleth down; rather, poureth down. Ceaseth not; literally, is not silent (comp. Jeremiah 14:17).

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not,.... From weeping, as the Targum: the prophet was continually weeping; the distresses of his people were always uppermost in his mind; and which so affected him, that it drew tears from his eyes, which constantly trickled down his cheeks:

without any intermission; or, "without intermissions" (n); there were no stops or pauses in his grief, and in the expressions of it: or it may be rendered, "because there were no intermissions" (o); that is, of the miseries of his people; so Jarchi,

"because there were no changes and passing away;''

that is of evils; and to the same purpose the Targum,

"because there is none that intermits my distress, and speaks comforts to me.''

(n) "a non intermissionibus", Montanus, Calvin; "sine intervallis", Cocceius. (o) "Eo quod nullae sunt intermissiones", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Tigurine version.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

49-51. without … intermission—or else, "because there is no intermission" [Piscator], namely, of my miseries.
