Could the book of Lamentations be said outloud to God today ? read below?

Question

1-22 "Remember, God, all we've been through. Study our plight, the black mark we've made in history.
Our precious land has been given to outsiders,
our homes to strangers.
Orphans we are, not a father in sight,
and our mothers no better than widows.
We have to pay to drink our own water.
Even our firewood comes at a price.
We're nothing but slaves, bullied and bowed,
worn out and without any rest.
We sold ourselves to Assyria and Egypt
just to get something to eat.
Our parents sinned and are no more,
and now we're paying for the wrongs they did.
Slaves rule over us;
there's no escape from their grip.
We risk our lives to gather food
in the bandit-infested desert.
Our skin has turned black as an oven,
dried out like old leather from the famine.
Our wives were raped in the streets in Zion,
and our virgins in the cities of Judah.
They hanged our princes by their hands,
dishonored our elders.

Strapping young men were put to women's work,
mere boys forced to do men's work.
The city gate is empty of wise elders.
Music from the young is heard no more.
All the joy is gone from our hearts.
Our dances have turned into dirges.
The crown of glory has toppled from our head.
Woe! Woe! Would that we'd never sinned!
Because of all this we're heartsick;
we can't see through the tears.
On Mount Zion, wrecked and ruined,
jackals pace and prowl.
And yet, God, you're sovereign still,
your throne intact and eternal.
So why do you keep forgetting us?
Why dump us and leave us like this?
Bring us back to you, God—we're ready to come back.
Give us a fresh start.
As it is, you've cruelly disowned us.
You've been so very angry with us

But God like a loving parent, spanks us and then comes back and holds us in His arms !! He reallly does if you will repent and tell him you are sorry just like you did when you were 3 with your mommy and daddy. At a time of great gried, a believer should turn to God in prayer, think of Paul in prison and he praised God and save the jailers family and was released one time. but he saved one family :) 21(AB)Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored;
Renew (AC)our days as of old,

Jeremiah was about as close to God as one could be, but he saw the people then JUST LIKE THE PEOPLE NOW, EVEN BELIEVERS, sinning and not listening to God and not repenting and not even recognizing their sin as sin, sure Jesus forgives, but we must stop sinning and try to be more like him at least I mean sin less !!!

Answer 1

All of this is going to be made manifest in our lifetime if we keep going in the direction that we are going and not listening to GOD and not loving one another and seeking after our own lusts - whatever they are. Yes, we will be sayin this and it seems in a relatively short time.

Answer 2

The Book of Lamentations consists of a series of five mournful poems. Together they constitute a moving expression of grief over the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of his people by King Nebuchhadnezzar and the Babylonians in 586 BC. A concise summary of this historical background can be found in 2 Kings 25:8-21.

Lamentation is associated with "the Ninth of Av which commemorates the destruction of the temple by the Roman Emperor Titus in 70 AD.

Answer: Yes. Parts of it is read during Holy Week. However, there is a difference between commemorates and prophecy. Prophecy is not found in Lamentations.

Answer 3

We aren't in those dire straits.
We have Jesus and all His love and mercy within our hearts, if we allow Him there. Our joy keeps us from the despair of the poet in that passage of the old Testament.

Answer 4

Wow the sheeple just love to live in misery, and yes they want company. Middle East male foolery;
