The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 29: Lamentations of Jeremias

"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 29: Lamentations of Jeremias" is a collection of poetic laments written shortly after 586 BCE. Five separate poems mourn Jerusalem's destruction, describing the city as a desolate widow overwhelmed by misery. The work presents suffering as divine punishment for communal sin, acknowledging God's righteousness while offering no guaranteed deliverance. Combining funeral dirge with communal plea, these verses move from disaster to the bitter possibility that God may have finally rejected His people, leaving hope uncertain.
