Lamentations 1:21

ש (Sin/Shin)

1:21 They have heard that I groan,

yet there is no one to comfort me.

All my enemies have heard of my trouble;

they are glad that you have brought it about.

Bring about the day of judgment that you promised

so that they may end up like me!

Lamentations 2:2

ב (Bet)

2:2 The Lord destroyed mercilessly

all the homes of Jacob’s descendants.

In his anger he tore down

the fortified cities of Daughter Judah.

He knocked to the ground and humiliated

the kingdom and its rulers.

Lamentations 3:26-27

3:26 It is good to wait patiently

for deliverance from the Lord.

3:27 It is good for a man

to bear the yoke while he is young.

Lamentations 3:36

3:36 to defraud a person in a lawsuit –

the Lord does not approve of such things!

Lamentations 3:38

3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that everything comes –

both calamity and blessing?
