154 THE LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAH cerned with the woes of Jerusalem, and he can only find one image with which these woes are at all com- parable. Her breach, he says, " is great like the sea," ^ meaning that her calamities are vast and terrible as the sea ; or perhaps that the ruin of Jerusalem is like that produced by the breaking in of the sea—a striking image in its application to an inland mountain city for no place was really safer from any such cataclysm than Jerusalem. The analogy is intentionally far- fetched. What might naturally happen to Tyre, but could not possibly reach Jerusalem, is nevertheless the only conceivable type of the events that have actually befallen this ill-fated city. The Jews were not a maritime people. To them the sea was no delight such as it is to us. They spoke of it with terror, and shud- dered to hear from afar of its ravages. Now the deluge of their own troubles is compared to the great and terrible sea. The poet can offer no comfort for such misery as this. His confession of helplessness agrees with what we must have perceived already, namely, that the Book of Lamentations is not a book of consolations. It is not always easy to see that the sympathy which mourns with the sufferer may be quite unable to relieve him. The too common mistake of the friend who comes to show sympathy is Bildad's and his companions' notion that he is called upon to offer advice. Why should one who is not in the school of afQiction assume the function of pedagogue to a pupil of that school, who by reason of the mere fact of his presence there should rather be deemed fit to instruct the outsider ? If he cannot comfort Jerusalem, however, the elegist ii. 13. ;
ii. IO-I7.] THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN 155 will pray with her. His latest reference to the Divine source of the troubles of the Jews leads him on to a cry to God for mercy on the miserable people. Though he may not yet see the gospel of grace which is the only thing greater than the sin and misery of man, he can point towards the direction in which that glorious gospel is to dawn on the eyes of weary sufferers. Here, if any- where, is the solution of the mystery of misery.
