Lamentations 5:15-22

King James Version

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, 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 Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

²⁰ Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

²¹ Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

²² But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
