Questions in Lamentations
Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
Lamentations 1:2
Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is none to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
Where is corn and wine?
Lamentations 2:12
They say to their mothers, “Where is bread and wine?” as they faint like wounded men in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away in their mothers’ arms.
What thing shall I take to witness for thee?
Lamentations 2:13
What can I say for you? With what can I compare you, O Daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I liken you, that I may comfort you, O Virgin Daughter of Zion? Your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can heal you?
Is this the city that men call the perfection of beauty? The joy of the whole earth?
Lamentations 2:15
All who pass your way clap their hands at you; they scoff and shake their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?”
Shall the woman eat their fruit, and children of a span long?
Lamentations 2:20
“Look, O LORD, and consider: Whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the children they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
Lamentations 3:37
Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
Lamentations 3:39
Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?
