Lamentations 1:1

The Prophet Speaks:

א (Alef)

1:1 Alas! The city once full of people

now sits all alone!

has become a widow!

The princess who once ruled the provinces

has become a forced laborer!

and has taken the crown off my head.

89:39 You have repudiated your covenant with your servant;

you have thrown his crown to the ground.

“Tell the king and the queen mother,

‘Surrender your thrones,

for your glorious crowns

will be removed from your heads.

Ezekiel 21:26

Tear off the turban,

take off the crown!

Things must change!

Exalt the lowly,

bring down the proud!

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown into prison so you may be tested, and you will experience suffering for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself.

Revelation 3:11

3:11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away your crown.
