Lamentations

Interesting fact: Lamentations is an acrostic
like some of the Psalms and Proverbs 31:10-31.
The first four chapters have each verse beginning with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet (though chapter 3 has sets of 3 x 22 letters).
Date: 586 B.C.
Name: the name Lamentations reveals the deep grief and sorrow felt
at the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple and the captivity of the southern kingdom.
