Clarke's Lamentations 3:1 Bible Commentary
I am the man that hath seen affliction - Either the prophet speaks here of himself, or he is personating his miserable countrymen. This and other passages in this poem have been applied to Jesus Christ's passion; but, in my opinion, without any foundation.

That hath seen affliction - i. e. hath experienced, suffered it.
