Bible Question:
Hi, I'm reading "The Sixth Lamentation" by William Brodrick. I know there is a book in the Old Testament called "Lamentations". Could someone please explain to me what happens in this book. I have tried reading it, but it is very hard going. Any help I receive would be very much appreciated. |
Bible Answer: Lamantations is a book written by Jeremiah. He has been watching the nation disobey God, fall apart and finally get hauled off into slavery. He is lamenting the destruction. There are 5 laments. They are written in formal Hebrew poetic style. It is hard to read a book of such sadness. If you wanted a comment on the Broderick book, make that clear. Greentwiga |
