Peter: Alright, so what's the 411 on Lamentations 5?

Lois: Well, it's a chapter about how the people of Judah are lamenting their exile from their homeland. They say that the Lord has humbled them, and they feel like they have suffered at his hand.

Peter: Uh, yeah, I was hoping for something a little more upbeat, like a Friends episode or something.

Lois: Peter, this is a Bible chapter, not a sitcom.

Peter: Oh right. Well in that case, it's about how the people of Judah are totally bummed about being exiled and totally blaming God for it. It's like, if God was a Kardashian, he would be totally keeping up with the exile of Judah.

Lois: Peter, that's enough.

Peter: Alright, fine. The chapter ends with the people of Judah pleading with God to restore their fortunes and bring them back home. But it doesn't look like God's going to answer their prayers anytime soon.
