The Widowed City
Lamentations 1
The chapter opens with the notice that after Jerusalem was made desolate, Jeremiah sat weeping and voiced this lament over the city, picturing her as a widow who was once great among the nations but now sits solitary and afflicted, remembering her lost feasts and glory and confessing that the Lord has punished her for her sins. She cries out for the Lord to look upon her affliction, the mockery of her enemies, and the shame of her people, and calls for him to requite those who have wronged her.
