Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Lamentations.
This is episode #01 chapters 01 and 02.
Chapters 01, How lonely sits the city! Judah has gone into exile. O LORD, I am despised. Is any sorrow like mine? There is no one to comfort me.
Chapters 02, The LORD has not pitied Jacob. He has abandoned his sanctuary. My eyes fail with tears. Young and old lie slaughtered in the streets.
