  Grief and Suffering
  Through personifications, powerful imagery and other literary devices, the Lamentations author establishes a sacred dignity to human suffering by voicing Israel's immense sadness and loss.
   
  Judgment Against Evil
  Heartbroken, Israelites recognize that the Babylonian assault is the result of their rebellion against God. God is slow to anger but will judge against evil.
   
  The World’s Horrors
  By disobeying God's Covenant, the people of Israel invited war, poverty and exile into their homeland. Their lament poems are a form of protest to these horrible wrongs.
   
  Seeds of Hope
  Surrounded by disaster, the people of Israel hold onto faith that God will one day rescue them and restore Jerusalem. They see God's judgment as seeds of hope.
   
  A Cry for Mercy
  The poet prays on behalf of all the survivors of Israel, pleading for God's mercy and fearing Him in reverence. Will Jerusalem be restored again?
