Wednesday is the first day of Week 46 and the twenty-second day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Chesed shebeNetzach shebeMalchut, Kindness within Victory/Endurance within Kingship.
Wednesday is also the eighth 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 (1) from Chapter 5 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the eighth letter, the Chet:
2. Our heritage has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
ב. נַחֲלָתֵנוּ נֶהֶפְכָה לְזָרִים בָּתֵּינוּ לְנָכְרִים:
This verse can be interpreted positively as follows:
2. Our heritage was turned around (in order to protect us from) strangers, our houses (fortified in order to be protected against) aliens.
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. 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.
