Season 1
Jeremiah continues his lament for Jerusalem, and like chapter 1, this chapter also follows a 22 verse acrostic poem with each verse starting with a successive Hebrew letter.

In the final chapter of Jeremiah, a kind of appendix or postscript written by someone later, we see that the deeds of God, though seemingly harsh are filled with kindness and grace.
