Alex: So, what have you been up to lately?

Contestant: Well, I've been reading the Bible and I just finished Lamentations 3.

Alex: (Sighs) Alright, tell me about it.

Contestant: It focuses on the suffering of the people of Israel and how God has allowed it to happen. It talks about how hard it has been for them, and how God has allowed them to be oppressed and punished. It talks about how God has allowed them to be afflicted and have their enemies triumph over them. There is also a plea to God for mercy and deliverance.

Alex: (Rolls eyes) Great. Anything else?

Contestant: Yes, the chapter also talks about how the people of Israel can still trust in God despite their suffering, and how He is still faithful and just, and will eventually bring justice. It also talks about how God’s love is constant and never-ending, and how He will never abandon His people.

Alex: (Annoyed) Alright. Is that it?

Contestant: Yes, that's it.

Alex: (Sighs) I guess that's all I'm going to get. Let's move on to other topics.
