LAMENTATIONS

He was constrained to smite the One He loved;
He was constrained to love the One He smote.

  1. I am not sure but are you talking about the One being constrained as being God or Jesus?

  2. Thanks; I had in mind that God had to smite the Lord Jesus if we were to be saved. But Psalm 141:5, "Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness": so the Lord may in love have to smite us in discipline to conform us to His mind.
