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, art enthroned 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 Thou canst not have utterly rejected us, And be exceeding wroth against us! Lamentations 5:14-22, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
