Lamentations 5:19-22
19 You, O Lord, remain forever; Your throne from generation to generation. 20 Why do You forget us forever, And forsake us for so long a time? 21 Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be restored; Renew our days as of old, 22 Unless You have utterly rejected us, And are very angry with us!

Jerusalem was overthrown and God's people carried away as slaves to Babylon for years because they kept walk in away from Him. It seemed they were completely rejected by God in His anger for their constant and unrepentant sin. Yet because He is eternal and sovereign at all times, He brought them back, punishing their enemies. So with us He offers a way out of the Babylon of our sin and the captivity of the death we are enslaved to - His Son. Turn back to God in Christ and you will be free indeed!
