Jeremiah looked at Jerusalem, per Lamentations one
It seemed the people’s suffering was far from done
It was as if the nation went from queen to slave
She weeps bitterly for citizens gone to the grave
But Jeremiah had hope, per Lamentations three
For the Lord’s great love is there for all to see
“His compassions never fail” and his faithfulness great
Jeremiah said to himself that for the Lord he would wait
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him”
For those who seek Him, things will never be grim
The Lord replied to Habakkuk’s complaints in chapter two
Saying the enemy is arrogant and greedy in what he will do
And although he will take all the peoples captive
Piling up stolen goods and wealth is no way to live
Habakkuk prayed with admiration in chapter three
He waited for the day of calamity on the enemy
For despite the barren fields and empty stalls
Habakkuk rejoiced in the Lord though the halls
In Obadiah, the prophet shared words from the Lord
Edom will be judged, for God’s message it ignored
For violence against their brethren they were to blame
As a result, forever they would be covered with shame
They stood aloof as Jerusalem strangers attacked
And the holy city was plundered and ransacked
“The day of the Lord is near for all nations”
For their actions, there will be ramifications
But, God did say, “on Mount Zion will be deliverance”
“And the house of Jacob will possess its inheritance”
In the middle of a valley of bones, per Ezekiel thirty seven
Ezekiel was brought and then set by the Spirit from heaven
To prophesy to the bones, God then instructed Ezekiel
God would give the bones breath and life, Ezekiel did tell
While prophesying, Ezekiel saw bones come together
A vast army came to life despite the extreme weather
“The whole house of Israel” the bones did represent
And God then said what by this He actually meant
He would revive the Israelites and let them settle in their land
That He did it for them, they would once again understand
