About Lamentations

Poetic mourning over Jerusalem's destruction.

Old Testament • Book #25

They raped the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.

Princes were hanged by their hands; elders were shown no respect.

The elders have gone from the gate, the young men from their music.

The joy of our heart has ceased; our dancing is turned into mourning.
