Lamentations 2:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
Lamentations 2:4
BBE 4 His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.
These are my thoughts.
Those who fight against God’s will, will have God one day bring a fight to them and they stand no chance.

Lamentations 2:5 King James Version (KJV)
5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Lamentations 2:5
BBE 5 The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.
These are my thoughts.
This is how things can be if we don’t choose the Lord.

Lamentations 2:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
Lamentations 2:6
BBE 6 And he has violently taken away his tent, as from a garden; he has made waste his meeting-place: the Lord has taken away the memory of feast and Sabbath in Zion, and in the passion of his wrath he is against king and priest.
These are my thoughts.
This a place we never want to have God get with us, this only comes from a devoted rebellion against Him, we have Christ to turn to but one day chances will run out.

Lamentations 2:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
Lamentations 2:7
BBE 7 The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.
These are my thoughts.
The scariest thing ever is when the Lord is not to be found and they had to deal with this because of there lack of faith.

Lamentations 2:8 King James Version (KJV)8 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
Lamentations 2:8
BBE 8 It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.
These are my thoughts.
We are not to trust in our walls to protect us but trust the Lord to protect us.

Lamentations 2:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
Lamentations 2:9
BBE 9 Her doors have gone down into the earth; he has sent destruction on her locks: her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; even her prophets have had no vision from the Lord.
These are my thoughts.
We not let it come to the point where the Lord takes all we hold dear away from us before we turn to Him but many do.

Lamentations 2:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Lamentations 2:10
BBE 10 The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.
These are my thoughts.
They mourned, we are to mourn over our sin and regret it but turn back to the Lord in repentance.

Lamentations 2:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Lamentations 2:11
BBE 11 My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.
These are my thoughts.
We should have a heart that pours out like this for the fallen world because God loves them, we should as well.

Lamentations 2:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
Lamentations 2:12
BBE 12 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.
These are my thoughts.
We all have basic needs but few of us see our need for Him which is what they were struggling with they knew they needed water and food but did not see their need for the Lord.

Lamentations 2:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
Lamentations 2:13
BBE 13 What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?
These are my thoughts.
Israel was looking to everything to heal them and make them happy but they weren’t looking to the Lord who could, we should look to the Lord for our comfort.

Lamentations 2:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
Lamentations 2:14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
14 Your prophets had a vision for you,
false and worthless;
they have not exposed your sin,
to restore your fortune;
they have seen oracles for you,
false and misleading.

These are my thoughts.
Hearing what we want does not help us we need to be told often times what we don’t want to hear so that we can grow from it to change for the better.

Lamentations 2:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
Lamentations 2:15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
15 They clap hands over you,
all who pass along the way;
they hiss and they shake their head,
at the daughter of Jerusalem.
Is this the city of which it is said,
“A perfection of beauty, a joy for all the earth?”

These are my thoughts.
We often times wont fall to where God can bring us up because of what people say but what will they do when they fall but don’t have a chance to seek God.

Lamentations 2:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
Lamentations 2:16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
16 They have opened their mouths against you,
all your enemies.
They hiss and gnash a tooth,
and they say, “We have destroyed her!
Surely this is the day we have hoped for;
we have found it, we have seen it!”

These are my thoughts.
We will have people who speak against us when things are not going the way they think things should go for us but they will know one day that the Lord we serve is the Almighty.

Lamentations 2:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
Lamentations 2:17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
17 Yahweh has done what he has planned;
he has fulfilled his promise
that he ordained from the days of old;
he has demolished and not shown mercy;
he has made an enemy rejoice over you,
he has exalted the might of your foes.

These are my thoughts.
The Lord’s word and will always happens.

Lamentations 2:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
Lamentations 2:18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
18 Their heart cried to the Lord,
“O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears stream down like a river;
day and night,
do not give yourself relief,
do not give your eyes rest.
Lexham English Bible (LEB) 2012 by Logos Bible Software. Lexham is a registered trademark of Logos Bible Software
These are my thoughts.
We should turn our cries to the Lord in times of trouble.
