Lamentations
Old Testament · 5 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible
Five poems, written in the ashes. Lamentations is the Bible's grief-book — the funeral songs of Jerusalem, composed by someone who watched the city burn in 587 BC and stayed among the ruins long enough to see what a siege does to children.
