Lamentations 2:11 KJV
Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
I was impressed with Scofield's simple introduction of this book;
"The touching significance of this book lies in the fact that it is the disclosure of the love and sorrow of Jehovah for the very people who He is chastening--a sorrow wrought by the Spirit in the heart of Jeremiah (Jer_13:17; Mat_23:36; Mat_23:38; Rom_9:1-5). "
What great love is demanded of God to patiently work these thousands of years to bring about his plan for mankind! We are unique to anything else in creation. His design for us is fellowship with Him, which cannot be forced but must be true. Like Joseph's dealing with his brothers; a story that is really tough to understand, so God deals with us until we are finally ready to fellowship with Him in Spirit and in truth.
