Lamentations

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
