Lamentations 2:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Lamentations 2:10 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
sit upon the ground in silence.
They threw dust on their heads
and girded themselves with sackcloth.
The maidens of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.

These are my thoughts.
They mourned, we are to mourn over our sin and regret it but turn back to the Lord in repentance.

Lamentations 2:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 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.
Lamentations 2:11 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
11 My eyes are filled with tears.
My stomach is in torment.
My heart is poured out on the ground
over the destruction of the daughter of my people—
as young children and infants
languish in the city squares.
Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life (TLV) Translation of the Bible. Copyright © 2015 by The Messianic Jewish Family Bible Society.
These are my thoughts.
We should have a heart that pours out like this for the fallen world because God loves them, we should as well.

Lamentations 2:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
Lamentations 2:13 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
13 How can I admonish you?
To what can I compare you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you, so that I might console you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your wound is as deep as the sea!
Who can heal you?
Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life (TLV) Translation of the Bible. Copyright © 2015 by The Messianic Jewish Family Bible Society.
These are my thoughts.
Israel was looking to everything to heal them and make them happy but they weren’t looking to the Lord who could, we should look to the Lord for our comfort.

Lamentations 2:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
Lamentations 2:14 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
14 Your prophets have seen for you
false and worthless visions.
They did not expose your iniquity,
so as to restore your captivity.
Rather, they have seen for you
false and worthless oracles.
Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life (TLV) Translation of the Bible. Copyright © 2015 by The Messianic Jewish Family Bible Society.
These are my thoughts.
Hearing what we want does not help us we need to be told often times what we don’t want to hear so that we can grow from it to change for the better.

These are my thoughts.
We often times wont fall to where God can bring us up because of what people say but what will they do when they fall but don’t have a chance to seek God.

we have lived to see it!”

These are my thoughts.
We will have people who speak against us when things are not going the way they think things should go for us but they will know one day that the Lord we serve is the Almighty.

He enabled the enemy to gloat over you.
He has exalted the horn of your foes.

The Lord’s word and will always happens.

We should turn our cries to the Lord in times of trouble.

Lamentations 2:20 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

When people and generation turns from God unspeakable things may happen because of where sin leads.

22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
Lamentations 2:22 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
22 You invited terror to come to me from all around.

No one escaped on the day of the LORD’s anger.
My enemy killed the people who I raised and brought up.

These are my thoughts.
Its only by Christ we escape God’s judgment but those who reject Christ will face God’s wrath which be worse then what Israel went thru here.
