12 They hang princes by their hand; they do not show respect before elders.
13 Young men must carry a hand-mill and boys stumble under the wood.
14 Elders are no longer at the gate, young men no longer play stringed instruments.
15 The joy of our hearts has stopped; our circle-dancing has changed to a mourning ceremony.
16 The crown has fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this, our heart has become faint, because of these, our eyes have become dim.
18 Because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, foxes tread on it.
