The Bible, King James version, Book 25: Lamentations by Anonymous
"The Bible, King James version, Book 25: Lamentations" by Anonymous is a collection of poetic laments composed shortly after 586 BCE. Five poems mourn Jerusalem's destruction, presenting the catastrophe as divine punishment for communal sin. The tone is devastatingly bleak—God remains silent, suffering overwhelms, and hope flickers dimly. Yet the author doesn't blame God, instead affirming divine righteousness while wrestling with an agonizing possibility: perhaps God has finally rejected his people forever.
Will mercy arrive, or has abandonment become permanent? (This is an automatically generated summary.)
