Lamentations 3:37-5:22

Skipping straight to chapter 5 today.  I think the 4 is sad.

Chapter 5: has the same structure as chapter 3.  I read tons of research on the structures of these poems- 3 and 5 follow the Hebrew Alphabet and 1,2,4 are acrostic however I was looking for the lessons not necessarily the structure, but feel free to dig into it on your own…pretty neat stuff.

I heard my voice instead of Jeremiah as he “reminded God”-as if He needs reminding!  But our prayers and conversations with God are supposed to be transparent.  In the end, I read:

¹⁹ You, Lord, reign forever;
    your throne endures from generation to generation.
²⁰ Why do you always forget us?
    Why do you forsake us so long?
²¹ Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return;
    renew our days as of old
²² unless you have utterly rejected us
    and are angry with us beyond measure.
