Lamentations 5:13

Compare all

11 They ^aravished the women in Zion,
The maidens in the cities of Judah.

12 Princes were hung up by their hands,
And elders were not respected.

13 Young men ^aground at the millstones;
Boys staggered under loads of wood.

14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate,
And the young men from their ^amusic.

15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into ^amourning.

16 ^aThe crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!

17 Because of this our heart is faint;
^aBecause of these things our eyes grow dim;
