耶利米哀歌介言
耶利米哀歌的作者是哭泣哀悼的先知耶利米。
耶利米哀歌的主题是耶利米对神的圣城和圣民之忧伤与爱的发表。
耶利米哀歌的内容是五首忧伤与爱的哀歌。
耶利米哀歌有五段：为圣城荒凉哀悼的诗歌（一章）；为圣城被毁哀悼的诗歌（二章）；为那与受惩罚的百姓联合为一，受困苦之先知哀悼的诗歌（三章）；为受惩罚之百姓哀悼的诗歌（四章）；为圣民祷告的哀歌，作第四首哀歌的结语（五章）。
神毁灭耶路撒冷，烧毁圣殿，将君王放逐，并蹂躏整个国家。耶利米看见这一切事发生在他眼前。这一切事－毁灭、蹂躏、玷污、掳掠、和颓败－清楚留在这忧伤且满了同情之先知的记忆里。因着神的主宰，耶利米免于被掳。历史告诉我们，耶利米坐在俯瞰耶路撒冷的小山上，看着下面的废墟。他开始哭泣，禁不住记下他的感觉。他的五首哀歌写得非常细致，表达了他对神的圣民、圣地、圣城、圣殿、和圣器皿的忧伤、痛苦和同情。

Introduction of Lamentation — Lam. 1:20-22
The writer of the book of Lamentations was Jeremiah, the weeping and lamenting prophet.
The subject of Lamentations is the expression of Jeremiah’s sorrow and love over the holy city and the holy people of God.
The contents of the book of Lamentations are five lamentations of sorrow and love.
The book of Lamentations has five sections: a lamentation over the desolation of the holy city (ch. 1); a lamentation over the destruction of the holy city (ch. 2); a lamentation over the [2] afflicted prophet identified with his punished people (ch. 3); a lamentation over the punished people (ch. 4); and a lamentation as a prayer for the holy people as the conclusion of the fourth lamentation (ch. 5).
God destroyed Jerusalem, burned the temple, sent the king into exile, and devastated the entire country. Jeremiah saw all these things take place before his eyes. All these things—the destruction, devastation, contamination, capture, and ruin – remained clearly in the memory of this sorrowful and sympathetic prophet. By God’s sovereignty, Jeremiah was free from captivity. History tells us that Jeremiah sat on a hill overlooking Jerusalem, viewing all the ruins below. He began to weep, and he could not avoid writing down his feelings. His five lamentations, written in a very fine way, were the expression of his feeling of sorrow, pain and sympathy concerning God’s holy people, holy land, holy city, holy temple and holy vessels.
