===Name===
"Lamentations" in Hebrew is named by its first word: "How" - {{web_verseBible verse|lamentations|1|1|lang=WEB}}
The [[Septuagint]] adopted the name "Lamentations" which is now in common use, to denote the character of the book, in which the prophet [[Jeremiah]] mourns over the desolations brought on [[Jerusalem]] and the Holy Land by the Chaldeans.
