A Sad Song

Read the Story

Jerusalem was once full of people. Now the city was empty. The people had been taken far away.

The city cried at night. No one came to comfort her. But the people still talked to God. They said that God is righteous.

Memory Verse

“Yahweh is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
