Thursday, 25th of Av, 5774

Thursday is the second day of Week 47 and the thirtieth day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Gevurah shebeHod shebeMalchut, Might/Discipline within Glory/Acknowledgement within Kingship.

Thursday is also the sixteenth 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 (8) from Chapter 5 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the sixteenth letter, the Ayin:

8. Slaves rule over us, [and] there is none to deliver [us] from their hand.

ח. עֲבָדִים מָשְׁלוּ בָנוּ פֹּרֵק אֵין מִיָּדָם:


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 (which is an exception). 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
