14 The elders sit no more vnder the gates, and the young men vse no more playing of musicke. 15 The ioy of our heart is gone, our melodious meeting is turned into mourning. 16 The garlande of our head is fallen: alas that euer we sinned so sore. 17 Therefore our heart is full of heauinesse, and our eyes dimme. 18 Because of the hill of Sion that is destroyed: insomuch that the foxes runne vpon it. 19 But thou O Lorde, that remaynest for euer, and thy seate worlde without ende: 20 Wherefore wylt thou styll forget vs, and forsake vs so long? 21 O Lord turne thou vs vnto thee, and so shall we be turned, renue our dayes as in olde tymes: 22 But thou hast banished vs vtterly, and hast ben displeased at vs. Lamentations 5:14-22, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
