12 Princes were hung up by their hands,And elders were not respected.
13 Young men ground at the millstones;Boys staggered under loads of wood.
14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate,And the young men from their music.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased;Our dance has turned into mourning.
16 The crown has fallen from our head.Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint;Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is desolate,With foxes walking about on it.
