Introduction
THE MISERIES OF JERUSALEM
EXEGETICAL NOTES.—This elegy may be divided into two chief parts. The first, Lamentations 1:1-11, exhibits the mournful condition of an unnamed city, overtaken by various calamities, with a break, at Lamentations 1:9; Lamentations 1:11, by an ejaculatory appeal to Jehovah. The second, Lamentations 1:12-22, contains a bitter complaint from the city herself, or rather from the city personified by a sufferer.
