Lament: Divine Heartbreak

Jeremiah 2:4–13




Be appalled, o you heavens,
weep your lament,
for the people of God have turned away,
and the heart of God is breaking.

They forget their God,
their source of life,
and give praise to imposter gods.

They deny their worth,
the holiness bestowed
on the people of the Holy One.

They chase the wind,
the empty things,
ignore the riches of the Divine.

Their leaders drop their holy books,
deny the sacred and leave
the path of Wisdom.

Be appalled, o you heavens,
weep your lament,
for the people of God have turned away,
and the heart of God is breaking.
