Lamentations 5:14-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. The elders have ceased from the gate, 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 unto us, that we have sinned!

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

18. Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

19. You, O LORD, remain forever; your throne from generation to generation.

20. Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?
