 | | It is referred to in Hebrew tradition as "Lamentations" (the Hebrew word is "Qinot.") Both the Greek translation of the OT called the Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate name this book "Lamentations." The literary style of lament is not unique to this book. | | | The Psalter has several laments (onsider Psalm 88, for example.) All of the OT prophetic books make use of the lament except for Haggai. | | | That is the event that evokes the five laments of the book of Lamentations. |

| | Lamentations |
| | The context of Lamentations is Israel being cursed by God. | | | The writer of Lamentations knew that God had cursed Israel according to the curses promised in the Palestinian Covenant. | | | Ellison believes Lamentations was written to be used during the annual remembrance of the two destructions of the temple, Tisha b'Av (Lamentations, The Expositor's Bible Commentary, Volume 6, page 697). |

| | Bible Survey: The Book of Lamentations |
| | However, the book was apparently written by an eyewitness to the destruction of the city of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC, and the vocabulary is consistent with that setting and time. | | | It is interesting to notice that the five poems that make up the book of Lamentations are acrostics -- that is, the successive verses in some way are shaped by the Hebrew alphabet. | | | It is the first word in the book. |

| | The old Greek translation, the Septuagint, added this note at the beginning of the book: "And it came to pass, after Jeremiah was taken captive and Jerusalem laid waste, that Jeremiah sat weeping and lamented with this lamentation over Jerusalem and said..." Perhaps Jeremiah is the author, but we cannot know for certain. | | | The text of the Bible does not tell us who wrote the Book of Lamentations. | | | But a tradition says that Jeremiah is the author. |

| | Powell's Books - The Book of Lamentations: A Meditation and Translation by David R Slavitt |
| | According to tradition, the Book of Lamentations was written in response to this political, social, and religious crisis. | | | Distinguished poet and translator David R. Slavitt here provides a translation of and meditation upon the Book of Lamentations, the biblical account of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 587 B.C., on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av--Tish'a b'Av. | | | He affirms the significance of this aspect of the text: "The texture of the poetry is what lets us know that, somehow, the catastrophe is not total." He also offers his own meditation in the poetic voice he cultivated for the translation. |

| | Lamentations |
| | To the poet of Lamentations that would be to miss the point; a truly religious view of suffering may be more properly said to be one that does not seek to cast blame. | | | And yet he wants more than a simple return to the land; what is important for him is a unitedness between God and people, a turning of God to people and of people to God. | | | It can only be deliberate that the poet has chosen to complete his book of 'Appeals' or 'Lamentations' with a fully-fledged prayer to God. |

| | This unusual book properly follows the book of Jeremiah the prophet and priest because it was written by him. | | | Chapter three is interesting in that it consists of sixty-six verses in triads, or triplets, in which every verse making up each triad begins with the same letter of the alphabet, so that there are twenty-two groups of three altogether, one for each letter of the alphabet. | | | It is a study in sorrow, a hymn of heartbreak. |

| | LAMENTATIONS, NRSV HEBREW BIBLE |
| | Lamentations is read as part of the liturgy of the "Ninth of Ab," the day that commemorates the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE. | | | The poems of Lamentations may be dated to the sixth century, probably between 586 and 520 BCE, when the Temple was rebuilt. | | | Moreover, the oldest Hebrew manuscripts of Lamentations do not mention Jeremiah or associate him with the book. |

| | Overview: Book of Lamentations - Tisha B'Av & the Three Weeks |
| | Lamentations was written by the Prophet Jeremiah, according to some opinions before the events occurred. | | | This explains in part why mourning on Tisha B'Av and reciting the book of Lamentations is so difficult for us to relate to. | | | The fact that we refuse to forget (even if the anti-Semites would let us!) is the secret of our survival. |

| | Lamentations |
| | The Lamentations were used in the office of matins of the Holy Week. | | | But the translators of the Vulgate decided to keep a trace of the original arrangement of the poetry, and kept the hebrew letter at the beginning of each verse (there are other examples in the Bible, e.g., Psalms 36, 110, 111, 118, 144). | | | That tradition is probably as old as Gregorian itself, and may have roots in Hebrew liturgy. |

| | As a consequence, her book is refreshingly free of the Dances with Wolves breed of romanticism that has marred so many portrayals of America's indigenous peoples. | | | The Book of Lamentations is set some 60 years ago, and is based on events from the rebellions of 1712 and 1868. | | | In The Book of Lamentations, however, Rosario Castellanos renders the twisted spirits of the crucifiers so convincingly that the boy's ritual murder -- reported to have been committed by a Mayan mob at the height of an armed peasant rebellion in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas -- seems not only believable but inevitable. |
