This biblical book’s injunction to “lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth” is paraphrased in the third responsory on Holy Saturday. An epic simile in this book compares a group of animals to a marauding army of warriors who “climb up on the houses” and “enter in at the windows.” This book rebukes insincere repenters with the instruction “rend your heart, not your garments.” This three-chapter book is named for the son of Pethuel, who is known as “the learned prophet” for his numerous allusions to Exodus and Isaiah, though his own description of the Day of the Lord is quoted on Pentecost by Peter in Acts. Modern interpretations have declared this book “the prophet of ecological doom” for its two poems describing Israel being ravaged by drought and swarms of locusts. For 10 points, name this second minor prophetic book in the Hebrew Bible, placed between Hosea and Amos. ■END■
