Lamentations 5

11  They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.

12  Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders were not honored.

13  The young men bare the mill; And the children stumbled under the wood.

14  The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.

15  The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.

16  The crown is fallen from our head: Woe unto us! for we have sinned.

17  For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

18  For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk upon it.

19  Thou, O Jehovah, abidest for ever; Thy throne is from generation to generation.

20  Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, `And' forsake us so long time?
