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;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is
adesolate,
With foxes walking about on it.
