About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Librivox recording of the Book of Lamentations from the King James Version. Read by Mark Penfold. The Book of Lamentations is a series of mournful poems written by the Prophet Jeremiah as he saw the destruction of Jerusalem. Jeremiah laments the desolation of this once great city, as well as the condition of the people, many of whom were once surrounded by great wealth and honor. Jeremiah has been referred to by many as "The Weeping Prophet", and this book merely confirms the sense of this title. (Summary by Mark Penfold)
