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: Hi, howling! LAMENTATIONS These five laments were written soon after the fall of Jerusalem in 587 B.C. Shinning through their sorrow is a ray of unconquerable trust in Yahweh and whole-hearted repentance. The first four are alphabetical poems, their verses beginning with all the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in series. Their attribution to Jeremiah merely shows the influence of that great prophet in later Judaism. (The New Jerusalem Bible, American Bible Society, 1985.) God Bless! Angel |
