| | Lamentations |
 | | Lamentations: 2:6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. | | | Lamentations: 2:7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast. | | | Lamentations: 1:4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she [is] in bitterness. |

| | 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). |

| | lamentations |
| | It is the goddess who laments when the goddess is the major deity of the city, like Baba and Ninisinna and Nanshe, and it is also the goddess who weeps when She is merely the minor spouse of the city god (as in Namrat, wife of Numushda in Kazallu). | | | All of them should be considered successful intercessions, for the lamentations themselves were recited at the time of restoration of the city and shrine and the return of the gods to their homes, and the compositions often contain mention of the restoration celebrations. | | | The Great Lamentation over the Destruction of Sumer and Ur demonstrates that lamenting was the job of the goddess of the city, not of the god. |

| | LAMENTATIONS - LoveToKnow Article on LAMENTATIONS |
| | The poet laments Yahwehs anger as the true cause which destroyed city and kingdom, suspended feast and Sabbath, rejected altar and sanctuary. | | | The text of Lamentations, however, so often deviates from it, that we can only affirm the tendency of the poet to cast his couplets into this type (Driver). | | | He mentions the uproar of the victors in the Temple; the dismantling of the walls; the exile of king and princes (verses 1-9). |

| | The day for the Lamentation was the 9th of Abib, the day of the burning of the temple. | | | The fact that he also evinces great reverence for the unfortunate king and his Divinely given hereditary dignity (Lamentations 4:20), although as a prophet he had been compelled to pronounce judgment over him, would not be unthinkable in Jeremiah, who had shown warm sympathies also for Jehoiachim (Jeremiah 22:24, Jeremiah 22:28). | | | The hymns themselves are found anonymously in the Hebrew text, while the Septuagint has in one an additional statement, the Hebrew style of which would lead us to conclude that it was found in the original from which the version was made. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | In the end, the possibility must be reckoned with that God has come to the end of a road with his people, and may not again deliver them. |

| | 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. | | | The first four chapters of Lamentations are each composed as an alphabetic acrostic, a formals scheme in which the initial word of each stanza begins with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet, twenty-two in all (ch 5, though not an acrostic, also contains twenty-two verses). |

| | Lamentations & Baruch (This Rock: November 1995) |
| | The structure of the first four poems is alphabetical; each of its stanzas begins with one of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, a device frequently used in the Bible to help memorization of the text. | | | In spite of this terrible punishment the poems recognize that it has served to awaken the people to their sin (5:16) and cause them to desire to turn back to God: "Restore us to thyself, O Lord, that we may be restored" (5:21). | | | Up to the eighteenth century, both Jewish and Christian tradition regarded it as an undisputed fact that Jeremiah was the author of Lamentations, the basis for this being 2 Chronicles 35:25 and the internal evidence of the poems themselves. |

| | Moreover, knowledge of her version of Lamentations allows us to see that when she deviated from the text she was versifying, Donne occasionally followed her lead. | | | Immediately notable in this epistle dedicatory is that whereas Tremellius placed Lamentations firmly in its historical setting, "after the death of king Iosias" (The Argvment, 1), Fetherstone saw the book from a millenarian perspective, linking Jeremiah's lament to prophecies of the Second Coming. | | | He spent most of his life, in the words of Herbert Grierson, as "a wandering, often fugitive, scholar and reformer" (2:245), holding -- among other positions -- the professorship of Hebrew at Cambridge from 1548 to 1553 and the professorship of theology at Heidelberg from 1562 to 1577. |

| | 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. |

| | The first four poems are acrostics in which the separate stanzas begin with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet from the first to the last. | | | The union of poignant grief and unquenchable hope reflects the constant prophetic vision of the weakness of man and the strength of God's love; it also shows how Israel's faith in Yahweh could survive the shattering experience of national ruin. | | | Not long after the fall of Jerusalem (587) an eyewitness of the national humiliation composed these five laments. |

| | This traumatic moment in Israel's history is still observed today within the Jewish community as Tisha b'Av, the ninth day of the month of Av, falling somewhere between the end of July and the beginning of August. | | | For this reason the Christian canon has placed the book of Lamentations after the book of Jeremiah. | | | Jeremiah composed a lament upon the occasion of the death of Josiah (2 Chronicles 35:25), but there is no evidence he did the same thing for Jerusalem or that he composed the book of Lamentations. |
