The Book of Lamentations (Hebrew: אֵיכָה) is an accumulation of graceful regrets for the devastation of Jerusalem. In the Hebrew Bible it shows up in the Ketuvim (“Writings”), in the Old Testament it takes after the Book of Jeremiah, as the prophet Jeremiah is its customary author.

The tone is dreary: God does not talk, the level of anguish is exhibited as undeserved, and desires of future recovery are minimal.
