eagle in Lamentations 4
EE-gul
This creature shows up in Lamentations 4:19: “Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountains. They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Lamentations 4:19
“Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountains. They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.”
What kids can learn
When you hear eagle in Lamentations, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Lamentations 4:19 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
