Church of Christ Studies

The “writer’s” words describes the deepest grief
For Jerusalem is now a miserable heap
The people’s suffering is beyond belief
Even children are cooked to provide meat

Still Judah hadn’t learned the lesson
Although Jerusalem became a great city
But when the Messiah came they crucified Him
And in A.D. 70 Rome plundered them

The punishment is credited to God’s anger
Still Judah would not to Him surrender
Jeremiah felt that God had not heard his prayers
Still he felt God did what they deserved

What a moving conclusion to J eremiah’s Weeping
That should bring repentance to all that’s reading
Someone has said, “History is Written
That History need not be repeated”
