Lamentations 2:21-22

Lamentations 2:21-22 MSG

“Boys and old men lie in the gutters of the streets, my young men and women killed in their prime. Angry, you killed them in cold blood, cut them down without mercy. “You invited, like friends to a party, men to swoop down in attack so that on the big day of GOD’s wrath no one would get away. The children I loved and reared—gone, gone, gone.”

New Every Morning: A Study in Lamentations

5 Days

Most likely written by the prophet Jeremiah, Lamentations is a collection of poems mourning the siege of Jerusalem and the coming exile of Judah. Despite the wickedness of God’s people that led to their captivity, the writer reminds his readers the loyal love and mercy of the Lord are truly new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Even in deep darkness, God is our portion, our hope, and our salvation.
