Lamentations 5:13-17 New English Translation (NET)

13. The young men perform menial labor;boys stagger from their labor.

14. The elders are gone from the city gate;the young men have stopped playing their music.

15. Our hearts no longer have any joy;our dancing is turned to mourning.

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

17. Because of this, our hearts are sick;because of these things, we can hardly see through our tears.
