Lamentations 2:13
King James Version
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 2:14

Your prophets have seen for you
false and deceptive visions;
they have not exposed your iniquity
to restore your fortunes,
but have seen for you oracles
that are false and misleading.

Lamentations 2:15

All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
they hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of all the earth?”

Lamentations 2:16 (NKJV)

All your enemies have opened their mouth against you;
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have swallowed her up!
Surely this is the day we have waited for;
We have found it, we have seen it!

Lamentations 2:17 (NKJV)

The Lord has done what He purposed;
He has fulfilled His word
Which He commanded in days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
And He has caused an enemy to rejoice over you;
He has exalted the [l]horn of your adversaries.

Numbers 22:6 (ESV)
Come now, curse this people for me, since they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them from the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭24:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭24:17, 19-20‬ ‭

all creation was cursed to destruction because of the breaking of the covenant given at Sinai it began with israel d spread to all people because of this

“for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

that means this

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

All the world is cursed to death by sin that’s why the gospel comes forth offering salvation to anyone who accepts the gospel and believes.

it’s why no one can be “saved “ without the gospel offering salvstion it’s why no one other than Jesus can save us

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭

the curse of the Old Testament is what all the world is needing to be saved from this curse that was instituted because of the breaking of the ot and then finalized when they rejected johns ministry preceding Christs ministry of salvstion

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
‭‭Malachi‬ ‭4:5-6‬ ‭

John coming forth is that promise of Elijah that final verse of the prophets is foretelling thy beginning of the gospel

“And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Which shall prepare thy way before thee.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:7, 9-10, 13-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

remission of sins is where the curse ends and the resurrection of the New testament begins. The curse is washed away when we die with Christ through baptism and fulfill the word of death proclaimed on every soul we can die with Jesus and live with him apart from thy curse

all people are cursed , that’s why all
People have no option but to accept the gospel Gods only source of remission of mans sin and with sin goes the curse of death

Lamentations 2:18 (NKJV)
Their heart cried out to the Lord, “O wall of the daughter of Zion, Let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no relief; Give your eyes no rest.
Lamentations 2:19 (NIV)
Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children who faint from hunger at every street corner.

Lamentations 2:20 (NIV)

‘Look, Lord, and consider: whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring,
the children they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
