The Book of Lamentations

by Owen Borville

The Book of Lamentations is placed directly after the Book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament and is believed to be written by the prophet Jeremiah. This five chapter poetic book is focused on lamenting over the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C.

Lamentations 1: Jerusalem is compared to a widow bitterly weeping. The unfaithfulness of Jerusalem is described.

How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary! Lamentations 1:1.

Lamentations 2: The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast. Lamentations 2:7.

Lamentations 3: I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord's wrath. Lamentations 3:1.

Lamentations 4: How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street. Lamentations 4:1. 

The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins. Lamentations 4:22.

Lamentations 5: Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. Lamentations 5:1-2.
