Throughout the book of Jeremiah, places and people are targeted by God for blessings and cursings - mostly the latter. After a long book of that, we are able to leave Jeremiah - and begin reading Lamentations!! And - surprise!! - it apparently was written through Jeremiah!!
And we find this to start:
Lamentations 1:1-2:
"1 Jerusalem, once so crowded,
lies deserted and lonely.
This city that was known
all over the world
is now like a widow.
This queen of the nations
has been made a slave.
2 Each night, bitter tears
flood her cheeks.
None of her former lovers
are there to offer comfort;
her friends[a] have betrayed her
and are now her enemies."
Jeremiah was, after all, a prophet. They're kinda somber, some reluctantly offering God's word. Some prophecy is very specific - time, place, people. Just as this passage is about Jerusalem and God's people. Even so, there may be usable parallels. Can you think of any? Then, pray!
