14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music. 15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us! for we have sinned. 17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim; 18 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate; the foxes walk upon it. 19 Thou, O LORD, abidest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation. 20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? 21 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 22 But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art very wroth against us.
