About Lamentations

Poetic mourning over Jerusalem's destruction.

Old Testament • Book #25

Our inheritance is turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.

We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are like widows.

Our pursuers are on our necks; we are weary, and have no rest.

We have submitted to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians, to get enough bread.
