Lamentations 2:22

The Lords Day Destruction / Perishing Language Future Fulfillment Daughter of Zion

“Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.”

Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.

Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

The Lords Day

The phrase "the Lord's anger" does not inherently refer to "the Lord's Day" as a special day of worship. It more naturally describes a period or event characterized by divine wrath, rather than a specific liturgical day.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse explicitly states "consumed" in reference to the fate of those who were "swaddled and brought up," which directly aligns with the theme's definition of "consume" as destruction language.

Future Fulfillment

The verse describes past and present suffering ("Thou hast called... my terrors round about," "hath mine enemy consumed") rather than explicitly future events, and the "day of the Lord's anger" here refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, which is a historical event, not necessarily the eschatological "end of the age."

Daughter of Zion

The verse does not explicitly name "Daughter of Zion" or Jerusalem, but rather speaks from the perspective of a "thou" who has experienced terrors and loss, which could be interpreted as a general lament without specific reference to the personified city.
