Chapter 4
MSB outline says "God's Wrath Detailed".
This verse says it..."
6 For the chastisement of the daughter of my people has been greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and no hands were wrung for her. [Lam 4:6 ESV]
Furthermore, there is this statement:
9 Happier were the victims of the sword than the victims of hunger, who wasted away, pierced by lack of the fruits of the field. [Lam 4:9 ESV]
...and still more of the horrors of the siege:
10 The hands of compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food during the destruction of the daughter of my people. [Lam 4:10 ESV]
God's wrath...you don't ever want to be part of it. God had "turned off" the compassion of His people so they were not revolted by these thoughts, but acted on them! Romans 1 is about this same switching off in nations God has cast off. Romans 1 tells what this switching off looks like at first, and Lamentations is telling us what it looks like when it runs it's full course. Another that would be difficult to put on FB. I think this is better for a website.
