Lamentations 5:1 NLT

1 Lord, remember what has happened to us. See how we have been disgraced!

The First List: Inheritance, Homes and Relationships

The Second List (vv. 5-10) Food & Basics are Scarce and Costly (They Made God Scarce in their Lives and are Paying in a Costly Manner…)

The Third List (vv. 11-14) Rape, Murder, Slavery & Injustice (They had played the harlot with other Gods, Murdered His Prophets and acted in an unjust manner in the city gates - the place of judgment so God made them slaves to others...)

The Fourth List (vv. 15-18): Sin has led to:

No Joy

No Dancing (Social activity)

No Ruler

No City or National Presence

The Final Plea: God You are Sovereign over us, Why do you forget us? Please Restore us to YOURSELF… unless you have utterly rejected and remain exceeding angry...

Romans 1:16–18 ESV

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

Romans 5:1–2 NLT

1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
