Lamentations 5:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ The elders have ceased from [congregating at] the city’s gate, the young men from their music.

¹⁵ Ceased is the joy of our hearts; our dancing has turned into mourning.

¹⁶ The crown has fallen from our head [our honor is brought to the dust]! Woe to us, for we have sinned!
