Responses to the destruction of Jerusalem: Read II Kings 25. Note
verses 27ff.
Jeremiah 30 - 32
Psalm 137
Note the various ways in which sorrow is expressed and an explanation
for the misfortune is attempted. Is the explanation a solace? Now read
the Book of Lamentations very carefully:
Note when Jerusalem is personified and how it is accomplished.
Note when Jerusalem first speaks.
How does this portrayal of Jerusalem relate to the writings above, your
readings of other parts of the Bible, etc.
Does Lamentations provide a consolation?
Is the consolation successful?
