14 Our elders have ceased ruling at the gate; our young men have abandoned their music. 15 The joy of our hearts has ceased, and our dancing has turned into dirges. 16 The crown has fallen from our head— woe to us, because we have sinned! 17 This is why our hearts faint, and why our eyes grow dim: 18 Because Mount Zion is desolate; foxes roam around it. 19 You, LORD, are forever— your throne endures from generation to generation. 20 So why have you completely forgotten us, forsaking us for so long? 21 Restore us to yourself, LORD, so that we may return. Renew our days as before, 22 unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us without limit. Lamentations 5:14-22, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
