Abstract

Lamentations 2.1–8 depicts the attack of God on Jerusalem and the temple. God is the subject of almost every verb in the unit, and this heightens the theological dimension of the crisis compared with chapter 1. This perspective is reinforced by the many images of the city as a centre of worship. The focus on the cult is not limited to the mention of feasts, sabbath, altar and sanctuary in 2.6–7 but is in evidence from verse 1 with the city described as ‘under a cloud’ and called ‘the beauty of Israel’ and God’s ‘footstool’. This way of viewing Jerusalem is bolstered by the images of ‘the tent of the daughter of Zion’ (2.4), and God’s ‘booth’ (2.6a). God’s action against Zion signals the breakdown of the relationship between Yhwh and his people, and it also disables the usual cultic mechanisms for mending that relationship.

耶利米哀歌2:1-8中耶路撒冷的崇拜形象

哀歌2.1–8描绘了上帝对耶路撒冷和圣殿的攻击。上帝是单元中几乎每个动词的主体，与第一章相比，这增加了危机的神学维度。这一观点被许多将城市作为崇拜中心的图像所强化。对邪教的关注不仅限于2.6-7中提到的盛宴、安息日、祭坛和圣地，而且从第1节中可以看出，这座城市被描述为“云下”，被称为“以色列的美丽”和上帝的“脚凳”。这种看待耶路撒冷的方式得到了“锡安之女的帐篷”（2.4）和上帝的“隔间”（2.6a）的图像的支持。上帝对锡安的行动标志着Yhwh和他的人民之间关系的破裂，也破坏了修复这种关系的通常邪教机制。
