The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Year

DAY 227 OF 365

Week 33. Day 3. Lamentations.

Lamentations bewails the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians – in many ways it is the poetic response to the destruction recorded in 2 Kings 25 and Jeremiah 52. The city is personified as a ruined princess, as a widowed bride (1:1).

Try to read the book in one sitting, not getting lost in the details, but trying to get an overview both of what is being said, but also the emotion with which it is said. What overall picture emerges?

In many ways, Lamentations is as dark a book as we find in Scripture. How does this make the placement of 3:21-26 encouraging?

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.

About this Plan

The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Year

The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
