| II Chronicles 35:25
| Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found written in the Lamentations.
| Lamentations. Some think that we have them in the Bible. (Josephus, etc.) --- Others believe that they are lost. (Salien, the year of the world 3425.) --- Law, on the anniversary; (Menochius) or when any calamity occurs, the lamentations of Jeremias are used. (Tirinus) --- There were collections of such poems, as well as of canticles, for victory and marriages. (Calmet)
