Lamentations
Chapters 5:14-20
Revised Version 1885
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.
19Thou, O Lord, abidest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation.
20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
