Today we talk about a translation issue in Lamentations that is more relevant than ever for those who are suffering around the world in this time of danger and difficulty.

Recommendation for today: An Interview with John Piper on NPR. Every so often I recommend this interview with Piper in the aftermath of the tsunami years ago. Today it is still the most relevant, beautiful, pastoral answer to world calamities like this virus. I've never heard anyone give better answers to the world's hard questions in times of crisis.
