Bible Question: in expressing the plight of the people of jerusalem to whom does the author of lamentations attribute their condition?

Bible Answer: Greetings Maryhl,

Here is an interesting 'twist' to your question..

"1:12 See v.18. Up to this point, the author has been the main speaker. Now, at the halfway mark of ch. 1, the main speaker changes to Jerusalem personified. .."

Jerusalem is trodden as in a wine press (v. 15), in divine judgment brought upon her by the Lord and His fierce anger (v. 12), roused as a result of Jerusalem's many unrepented sins.

Blessings to you,

Makarios
