A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed. Lamentations 2:22
The Hebrew word for swaddled is Taphach, meaning to flatten out; from Tephach; meaning dangling on the palms. To spread the hand, i.e. architecturally. Psalm 39:1-8 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, LORD, make me know mine end and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth, and my age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them. And now Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee. Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. We had better heed the words of the Psalmist, as our days are short and it is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment. Pray for the Lord to apply your heart to wisdom. Our only hope is in Jehovah Jireh, our provider, who gives us good and perfect gifts. So let us use our time on earth to the glory of God and win some souls to Jesus our Mediator before the Father.
#The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed and not pitied. Lamentations 2:21
The Hebrew word for anger is Aph; the nose, nostril the face of a person. From Anaph; properly and occasionally a person (from the rapid breathing in passion) ire, anger in their countenance. Aramaic, the face. Joshua 7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. Jehovah God has judged the children of Israel, by allowing their enemies to slay the young men, and old in the streets, along with their virgins. We must judge ourselves lest we will be judged. God is not willing that any would perish but that all men come to the knowledge of the truth. It is the truth that sets us free from the bondage of sin. We must continue in the word of God and be careful to keep all of it with our whole hearts.
#Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? Lamentations 2:20
The Hebrew word for Span long is Tippuchim; meaning tenderly cared for. From Taphach; meaning nursing, and to extend or spread or to flatten out. Isaiah 48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. Jehovah God is the One who created the foundation of the earth and spanned the heavens. Shall He not call to them and they stand up together? What a mighty God we serve who knows to consider all these things, even nursing mothers who tenderly hold their children in their arms while they are nursing them. It is time to rid yourselves of the false prophets and priests in the sanctuary. Malachi 2:2 If ye will not hear and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart. Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Turn O backsliding children, saith the LORD, for I am married unto you and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family and I will bring you to Zion.
#Arise, cry out in the night: at the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street. Lamentations 2:19
The Hebrew word for watches is Ashmoreth or Ashmurah; meaning a night watch Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night. Jeremiah is telling the daughter of Zion to watch in the night, for the sake of her young children, for they are hungry. Jehovah God watches over us for a day with God as a thousand years and is as a watch in the night. Genesis 19:2 And he said, Behold now my lords, turn in I pray you into your servant's house and tarry all night, and wash your feet and ye shall rise early and go on your ways. And they said Nay, but we will abide in the street all night. Jesus said to watch and pray, for we know not when our Lord shall come. Just as the angels came to destroy Sodom, they abode in the street all night. So it is for us to set a watch in our house in the night season and pray to God for the salvation of our children. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of the mouth of the Lord.
#Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. Lamentations 2:18 The Hebrew word for apple is Bath; meaning a daughter, branch, owl, or town. From Banah (a feminine or ben) a daughter (used in the same wide sense as other terms of relationship, literally and figuratively) Just as Ben means a son. Genesis 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall. This is a term of endearment God is using for the daughter of Zion, the apple of His eye. Jehovah God wants us to weep day and night over our sins. Psalm 30:5 For His anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. John 11:33 When Jesus, therefore, saw her weeping and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He groaned in the Spirit and was troubled. Jesus weeps at the unbelief of the Jews, cause He is the resurrection and the life. We must have faith in God, no matter how hard it is for us to believe, and know that all things are possible to those who believe in Him.
#The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down and hath not pitied and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. Lamentations 2:17
The Hebrew word for horn is Qeren; meaning a flask, cornet, a ray of power. Jeremiah 48:25 The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. Jehovah God is a jealous God. Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Turn ye to the Lord and keep his commandments. Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people and they shall say, Thou art my God. Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
#All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly, this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. Lamentations 2:16
The Hebrew word for gnash is Charaq; meaning to grate the teeth. Psalms 35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. Jesus warned there will be gnashing of teeth in hell. So they had better repent and turn to the Lord with their whole hearts. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions my darling from the lions. I will give thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me and from the words of my roaring? Jesus cried out on the cross these words while they were mocking him and gnashing their teeth, and God the Father is too holy to look upon sin. It was at that time that Jesus became a sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of Christ. Let us rejoice in the Lord at all times for our weeping will turn into rejoicing in that great getting up morning in the first resurrection.
#All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? Lamentations 2:15
The Hebrew word for clap is Saphaq; meaning to clap the hands of satisfaction, to be enough, to vomit. Isaiah 2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob because they replenished from the east and are soothsayers like the Philistines and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Jeremiah takes note of the enemies passing by to clap their hands, to vomit and they hiss and wag their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem. All because they replenished from the east and were soothsayers like the Philistines, and pleasured themselves with strangers and not in the word of the Lord. We had better turn to the Lord too, before our enemies will clap their hands at our impending national debt, and climate change. God has been merciful to us and is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. Enter into the rock and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD and the glory of His majesty. When the Messiah comes back He will judge the nations for how they treated Israel. He promised to bless those who would bless Israel and to curse those who curse Israel.
#Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. Lamentations 2:14
The Hebrew word for banishment is Madduach; meaning something which draws aside, an enticement. Jesus warned that before the coming kingdom of God, there would be false prophets among you. Beware when all men speak well of you, for so did they about the false prophets. Jeremiah has pronounced the coming judgment because you did not repent of your sins. Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Jehovah God will give you prophets after His heart if you believe the report. Jesus is the Messiah the one whose coming was told 700 years in advance. Behold a virgin shall conceive. Mary was that virgin the handmaiden of the Lord who said do unto me according to thy will. For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from him; he is despised and we esteemed him not. This is the true Messiah that Jeremiah has been preaching but they listened to the false prophets who said all is well, you do not have to repent. John the Baptist said: Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed. This is the report we must believe. For whosoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thine house.
#What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea: Who can heal thee? Lamentations 2:13
The Hebrew word for breach is Sheber; meaning a breaking, fracture, or crushing. Jeremiah has four great questions for the daughter of Jerusalem. The first is what thing I take to witness thee? The Hebrew word for witness is Uwd. means to testify. Jeremiah has been a testimonial of the idolatry of the daughter of Jerusalem. Then he asks what thing shall I liken to thee O daughter of Jerusalem? The Hebrew word for liken is Damah; meaning to compare and he has compared the great mercy of the Lord who has spared her life from destruction. The third question is what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee O virgin daughter of Zion? The Hebrew word for equal is Shaval; meaning to resemble and he has counterbalanced the love of Jehovah to comfort her in all her afflictions. The last question is who can heal thy breach or fracture? Isaiah 51:19 These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for Thee? desolation and destruction and famine and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? Truly God has comforted her in all these afflictions because of His great love and mercy for her and shall restore her from all the destruction, desolation, famine, and the sword. Isaiah 2:4 And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. This shall be the great promise in the Kingdom of God that He shall comfort her by.
