Lamentations
Chapters 5:12-18
Revised Version 1885
12Princes were hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13The young men bare the mill, and the children stumbled under the wood.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
15The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us! for we have sinned.
17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim;
18For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate; the foxes walk upon it.
