Lamentations 5:14

Compare all

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!

Lamentations 5:14

The elders have ceased from the gate - There is now no more justice administered to the people; they are under military law, or disposed of in every sense according to the caprice of their masters.
