LAMENTATIONS 1:12

BIBLE TEXT: “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.” (Lamentations 1:12)

BIBLE TWEET: Jeremiah’s sorrow, which passersby were indifferent to, but he himself found both incomparable and incomprehensible, was inflicted upon him by the fierce anger of God, not by the fierce army of Nebuchadnezzar.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Both Jeremiah and Jerusalem knew that the source of their sorrow was not the Babylonians, but God, who had merely used the Babylonians to inflict Jerusalem for her iniquity.
