    Judy on Lamentations 2 - 12 years ago
    @Donna, I have a Scoffied Study Bible.....and here is an outline of the 5 chapters of Lamentations..hope this will help you get a better understanding..
    1. The Desolation of Jerusalem.. Chapter 1:1-12
    2. The Day of the Lord's anger... Chapter 2:1-22
    3. Jeremiah's Sharing of His Nation's Affliction Chapter 3:1-66
    A. His Distress verses 1-21
    B. Recounting of God's Faithfulness verses 22 thru 39
    C. A Call to Self-Judgment and Confession verses 40 thru 51
    D. Jeremiah's Prison Experience verses 52-66

    4. The Horrors of the Siege of Jerusalem verses 1-22


    5. A Plaintive Prayer to the Lord. verses 1-22

    The Theme of Lamentations: "The Mourning of Jerusalem" The Author: Jeremiah

    The deeper significance of Lamentations lies in the fact the Jeremiah's intense burden of sympathy for Jerusalem discloses the love and the sorrow of the Lord for the very people whom He is chastening, as burden similar to that which the Lord Jesus Christ expressed in His lament over Jerusalem ( Matt 23:37-39)
    "Amen!"   Report
