Lamentations 1:4

The roads that once led people to worship in Jerusalem are now empty and grieving. No one comes for the holy celebrations anymore. The city gates stand abandoned, the priests are heartbroken, the young women are suffering, and the whole place is drowning in pain.

Get excited, Jerusalem! Celebrate like crazy! Your King is coming to you — and he's everything you need. He's completely fair, he brings rescue with him, but here's the thing: he's humble. No fancy horse or royal chariot. He's riding a donkey, just a young donkey.

Sing it out, Zion! Shout with joy, Israel! Jerusalem, be completely happy and celebrate with your whole heart!
