Lamentations 5:15

Compare all

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.

19 You, O Lord, ^aremain forever;
^bYour throne from generation to generation.

20 ^aWhy do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?

21 ^aTurn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be¹ restored;
Renew our days as of old,

22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!
