Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - For I have eaten ashes like bread; i.e. "the 'ashes' of humiliation have been my food. I have, as it were, fed on them." A literal mingling of ashes with his food is not to be thought cf. And mingled my drink with weeping (comp. Psalm 42:3; Psalm 80:5).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Ashes like bread.--Lamentations 3:16. A figurative expression, like "dust shall be the serpent's meat" (Isaiah 65:25; comp. Genesis 3:14). With the last clause comp. Psalm 42:3, "tears have been my meat day and night." So too, as an emblem of disappointment, a modern poet:--"But even while I drank the brook, and ateThe goodly apples, all these things at onceFell into dust, and I was left alone." . . .
