Lamentations

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

Chapter 1

KJV - Lamentations 1:3

Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

Judah was taken captive due to suffering and heavy work. She lives among non-believers and can't rest. All those who hated her caught up with her in a narrow place.
