Lamentations 5:1

Verse 1. The prayer, and so forth This title is not in Hebrew Septuagint and so forth Theodoret has passed over the chapter, as if he doubted of its authenticity. It does not follow the order of Hebrew letters like the preceding, and seems to be a form of prayer for those who retired into Egypt. Calmet.—Jeremias foresees what would happen, and prays as the people would do. Worthington.
