Lamentations 5:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ The elders no longer sit at the gates of the city.
    The young men no longer make music.
¹⁵ We have no more joy in our hearts.
    Our dancing has changed to crying for the dead.
¹⁶ The crown has fallen from our head.
    Things have gone bad for us because we sinned.
