Waters—not literally, for there was "no water" (Jeremiah 38:6) in the place of Jeremiah's confinement, but emblematical of overwhelming calamities (Psalms 69:2; Psalms 124:4-5).
cut off— (Isaiah 38:10-11). I am abandoned by God. He speaks according to carnal sense.
a bird—which is destitute of counsel and strength. The allusion seems to be to Proverbs 1:17 [CALVIN].
without cause— (Psalms 69:4; Psalms 109:3-4). Type of Messiah (John 15:25).
