[4], Beginning with the reality of disaster, Lamentations concludes with the bitter possibility that God may have finally rejected Israel (chapter 5:22). Lamentations sits in the Major Prophets section of our English Bibles. Very few English translations even attempt to capture this acrostic nature. Jeremiah's authorship is still generally … God however will always turn terrible situations around towards his glory and make them work for His purpose. This was the most traumatic event in the whole of Old Testament history, with its extreme human suffering, devastation of the ancient city, national humiliation, and the undermining of all that was thought to be theologically guaranteed like the Davidic monarchy, the city of … … Let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him” (Isaiah 55:6-7). This booklet can help you transform your life and deepen your relationship with your Heavenly Father. He laments over the gruesome and horrible suffering of the inhabitants during the siege and the captivity that followed. [1] In the Hebrew Bible it appears in the Ketuvim ("Writings"), beside the Song of Songs, Book of Ruth, Ecclesiastes and the Book of Esther (the Megillot or "Five Scrolls"), although there is no set order; in the Christian Old Testament it follows the Book of Jeremiah, as the prophet Jeremiah is its traditional author. The Book of Lamentations is a reflection by the Prophet Jeremiah on the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 586 BC, with the subsequent Babylonian Exile. Lamentations also mentions “the day You have announced” (1:21), the time when Israel’s enemies will also be punished and God will intervene in the world’s affairs. Its first four chapters have a well defined qinah rhythm of three stresses followed by two, although the fifth chapter lacks this. That is a mistake, for there is much we can learn from the Old Testament. Jerusalem bewails her misery and cries out to God for pardon (1:12-22). Lamentations combines elements of the qinah, a funeral dirge for the loss of the city, and the "communal lament" pleading for the restoration of its people. [12], Lamentations has traditionally been ascribed to Jeremiah, probably on the grounds of the reference in 2 Chronicles 35:25 to the prophet composing a lament on the death of King Josiah, but there is no reference to Josiah in the book and no reason to connect it to Jeremiah. Title “Lamentations” was derived from a translation of the title as found in the Latin Vulgate (Vg.) The name implies that the topic is expressing grief over something (to lament). “The book expresses with pathetic tenderness the prophet’s grief for the desolation of the city and Temple of Jerusalem, the captivity of the people, the miseries of famine, the cessation of public worship, and the other calamities with which his countrymen had been visited for their sins. By studying and applying the Word of God, we will learn to trust in His promises and call upon Him while there is still time. In light of the above, consider one such passage in the earlier prophetic book of Isaiah. She has a great turn of phrase and offers some unique perspective on Lamentations and the role of coming to terms with one's own pain and despair as a necessity for one who desires to empathetically comfort others (e.g., seeing pain, hearing cries, speaking truthfully about it, … – –1 – – a destroyed Jerusalem cries out for mercy – – 2 – –the Lord's chastisement and the effects – – 3 – – a cry from the heart of a chastened people – – 4 – – the horrors surrounding the siege and the fall of the city of Jerusalem – – 5 – – a lament and prayer for the restoration of Jerusalem. Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. Themes and Theology. The Book of Lamentations may not be the most popular book in the Bible, but it is an essential ingredient for helping humans to understand an important aspect of their relationship with God – the expression of grief and distress. All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the New King James Version (© 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.). Andre van Belkum currently serves as the pastor of the Church of God, a Worldwide Association, in New Zealand and the Pacific region. Lamentations is not the only OT book that contains individual or community laments. No matter what circumstances may befall the narrator and his nation, that hope ultimately rests with the Almighty. BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS (EICHAH) Lamentations was written by the Prophet Jeremiah, according to some opinions before the events occurred. There is no situation too difficult for God to resolve. Despite its rather morose tone throughout all five chapters, in the midst of great tragedy, the main theme of Lamentations appears to be hope (Lamentations 3:22). Here is one possible outline of the book: Because of Lamentation’s story of grief, suffering and tragedy, some readers of the Bible may avoid delving into this book. See! Sin has terrible consequences, and God wants mankind to avoid the penalty of sin and instead turn to Him with humility. [2] The tone is bleak: God does not speak, the degree of suffering is presented as overwhelming, and expectations of future redemption are minimal. Lamentations does not tell us who wrote the book, but the general consensus is that the author was Jeremiah the prophet. In addition, when the early Christian church father Jerome translated the Bible into Latin, he added a note claiming Jeremiah as the author of Lamentations" It is generally accepted that the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BCE forms the background to the poems.[2]. The book of Lamentations is read aloud in the synagogues on the 9th of Ab (in July or August on the Roman calendar), a Jewish national holiday that commemorates the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Babylonians in 587-586 B.C., as well as the subsequent destruction by the Roman armies under Titus in A.D. 70. 1:14–16). Used by permission. The fifth poem, corresponding to the fifth chapter, is not acrostic but still has 22 lines. Lamentations is not the only OT book that contains individual or community laments. Although the poems are traditionally ascribed to the prophet Jeremiah, this is unlikely. Despite the present horrors, there is hope in God’s love and mercy (3:1-33). Lamentations is recited annually by Jews on the fast day of Tisha B'Av ("Ninth of Av"), mourning the destruction of both the First Temple and the Second. The grief is that God appears angry with them: it is he who chastens them, and chastens them in … In doing so the author does not blame God but rather presents him as righteous, just and sometimes even as merciful.

As Proverbs 8:13 states, “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil [sinful] way.” What’s more, sin results in “destruction and misery” because “there is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:16-18; see also Isaiah 59:7-8). [10] Dobbs-Allsopp describes this meter as "the rhythmic dominance of unbalanced and enjambed lines". The time and manner of Jeremiah’s death are unknown.
