Question:
What dirges of Jeremiah led some to attribute to him the authorship of the book of Lamentations?
Answer:
Should I punish the people of Judah for doing these things?” This message is from the I should give it the punishment it deserves.” Jeremiah 9:9 ERV
I will scatter the people of Judah throughout other nations. They will live in strange nations that they and their fathers never knew about. I will send men with swords. They will kill the people of Judah. They will kill them until all the people are gone.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “Now think about these things! Call for the women who get paid to cry at funerals. Send for the people who are good at that job. The people say,‘Let those women come quickly and cry for us. Then our eyes will fill with tears that flow over our eyelids like streams of water.’ “The sound of loud crying is heard from Zion: ‘We are really ruined! We are so ashamed! We must leave our land, because our houses have been destroyed. Now our houses are only piles of rock.’” Now, women of Judah, listen to the message from the Lord. Listen to the words from his mouth.Teach your daughters how to cry loudly. Each of them must learn to sing this funeral song: “Death has climbed in through our windows and has come into our palaces. Death has come to our children who play in the streets and to the young men who meet in the public places.”Jeremiah 9:16-21 ERV
God, you are the hope of Israel! You save Israel in times of trouble. But now it seems like you are a stranger in the land, like a traveler who only stays one night.

They established them as a statute for Israel, and indeed they are written in the Book of Laments. As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with his deeds of loving devotion according to what is written in the Law of the LORD.
