“But you!
O Yahweh!
You reign forever!
Your throne
Endures
To all generations.
Why have you
Forgotten us
Completely?
Why have you
Forsaken us
These many days?”
Yahweh reigns forever. His throne will endure through all generations. The question is why has he forgotten the Judeans? Why has he forsaken them for so many days? There is a sense of urgency in these questions.
