TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.” (Lamentations 1:16-17)

BIBLE TWEET: Once again; see verses 8-9, Jeremiah likens God’s judgement of Jerusalem to the discarding of a menstruous and immodest harlot, whose former lovers and flatterers had all forsaken her.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Having forsaken her faithful Lord, for the flattery of her false lovers, Jerusalem found herself without the Lord, the Comforter of men’s souls, and surrounded by foes, who formerly feigned to be her friends, but who now, in her calamity, were no comfort to her at all.
