Lamentations 5:12-16

Leaders were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.

Young men worked at the grinding mill, And youths staggered under loads of wood.

Elders are absent from the gate, Young men from their music.

The joy of our hearts has ended; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.

The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!
