14 Elderly have ceased from the gate, || Young men from their song. 15 The joy of our heart has ceased, || Our dancing has been turned to mourning. 16 The crown has fallen [from] our head, || Woe [is] now to us, for we have sinned. 17 Our heart has been sick for this, || Our eyes have been dim for these. 18 For the Mount of Zion—that is desolate, || Foxes have gone up on it. 19 You, O YHWH, remain for all time, || Your throne to generation and generation. 20 Why do You forget us forever? You forsake us for [the] length of [our] days! 21 Turn us back, O YHWH, to You, || And we turn back, renew our days as of old. 22 For have You utterly rejected us? You have been angry against us—exceedingly? Lamentations 5:14-22, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
