Lamentations 4:1–22 (NEG79)

1 Eh quoi! l'or a perdu son éclat! L'or pur est altéré! Les pierres du sanctuaire sont dispersées Aux coins de toutes les rues!

The chapter can be divided into four main parts:

  1. Remembrances of better days (Lamentations 4:1–11)

  2. The sins of prophets and priests (Lamentations 4:12–16)

  3. A vain search for help (Lamentations 4:17–20)

  4. Edom's coming punishment (Lamentations 4:21–22).1

Another very similar suggestion is as follows:

  1. Zion's continuing torment (Lamentations 4:1–10)

  2. Rejection by the Lord (Lamentations 4:11–16)

  3. Helpless is man's aid (Lamentations 4:17–20)

  4. The destiny of Edom and Zion (Lamentations 4:21–22).2
