“The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear… for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.” - Lamentations 1v18-20
The book of Lamentations is basically a record of the God’s judgement on sinful Jerusalem and the reasons for that judgement. Jeremiah alone seems to have figured out the only solution to sin. It all boils down to this – “The Lord is righteous, but I have rebelled.” As a result of rebellion there was the sword of judgement on the outside and death at home.
There really is no one to blame, there is no excuse for our sin – God is righteous and we are rebellious.
