Thursday, 18th of Av, 5774

Thursday is the second day of Week 46 and the twenty-third day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Gevurah shebeNetzach shebeMalchut, Might/Discipline within Victory/Endurance within Kingship.

Thursday is also the ninth day of the fifteenth 22-day cycle of the year, related to the letter Peh Sofit (the final Peh). Although this chapter also has 22 verses, it is not openly an acrostic. However, there is a way to rearrange the verses. The following verse (13) from Chapter 5 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the ninth letter, the Tet:

13. Young men carried the millstones, [and] youths stumbled under [loads of] wood.
יג. בַּחוּרִים טְחוֹן נָשָׂאוּ וּנְעָרִים בָּעֵץ כָּשָׁלוּ:

This verse can be interpreted positively by applying it to Israel's enemies.

Obs: Chapter 5 of Lamentations works as an acrostic if you take the three verses that begin with 'Al, עַל , and apply them as above for the letter Gimmel, Dalet and Samech. Furthermore, for the letter Tet, take the first letter of the second word in verse 13.  Also, for those verses for which the first letter appears in more than one verse, use only one verse and take the second letter of the remaining verses.
