Lamentations

Poems mourning the fall of Jerusalem and expressing hope in God's mercy.

Chapter 1

KJV - Lamentations 1:19

I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.

I asked for my friends, but they lied to me. My religious leaders and older people died in the city as they searched for food to make themselves feel better.
