This term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe songs of mourning, such as those found in the Book of Lamentations.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "thrénos" refers to a lamentation or a mournful song, often associated with expressions of deep sorrow or grief. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of lamenting, particularly in response to death or calamity. It conveys a sense of profound emotional expression, often in a communal setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, lamentation was a significant part of funerary practices. Professional mourners were sometimes employed to express grief through song and wailing. This cultural practice is reflected in Jewish traditions as well, where lamentation was a common response to national tragedies, personal loss, or divine judgment. The Book of Lamentations in the Old Testament is a prime example of this tradition, capturing the sorrow of the Israelites after the destruction of Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2355</b> <i>thrḗnos</i> – to cry aloud (wail). <a href="/greek/2354.htm">See 2354</a> (<i>thrēneō</i>). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from threomai (cry aloud, shriek)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a lamentation. <p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2355: θρῆνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θρῆνος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">θρήνου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">θρέομαι</span> to cry aloud, to lament; cf.
