11 Women have been raped in Zion,young women in Judah’s cities.
12 Officials have been hung up by their hands;elders have been shown no respect.
13 Young men have carried grinding stones;boys have stumbled under loads of wood.
14 Elders have left the city gate;young people stop their music.
15 Joy has left our heart;our dancing has changed into lamentation.
16 The crown has fallen off our head.We are doomed because we have sinned.
17 Because of all this our heart is sick;because of these things our glance is dark.
