- Lamentations is the twenty-fifth book of the Old Testament and of the Bible. It is a composition of songs of sorrow or laments about the sad state of Jerusalem following its siege by the Babylonians. In a collection of five poems, the first four being acrostic in nature, the writer records an eye witness to the downfall and destruction of the ancient capital city of Judah. Though sympathetic to the suffering, the author makes clear that he understands the nation and city had fallen due to its disregard of the Law of God.

- Lamentations is the twenty-fifth book of the Old Testament and of the Bible.

In a collection of five poems, the first four being acrostic in nature, the writer records an eye witness to the downfall and destruction of the ancient capital city of Judah. Though sympathetic to the suffering, the author makes clear that he understands the nation and city had fallen due to its disregard of the Law of God. The five songs cry for sympathy, for mercy, for vindication, for vengeance and for restoration.
