25. The Book of Lamentations of Prophet Jeremiah, Chapters 1-5.
Entitled in most English versions The Lamentations of Jeremiah, this book is placed immediately after Jeremiah in the Septuagint, Vulgate, and English Bible. In the Hebrew text it is found among the "Writings" In spite of the ancient tradition that Jeremiah was the author, present scholarship is reluctant to accept this view. The book is composed of five poems, lamenting the siege and destruction of Jerusalem (586 B.C.) The poet also makes sincere confession of sin on behalf of the people and leaders, acknowledges complete submission to the will of God, and finally prays that God will once again smile upon his people and restore them to their homeland.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
