Lamentations 5:15-22
New King James Version
15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into (A)mourning.
16 (B)The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint;
(C)Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is (D)desolate,
With foxes walking about on it.
19 You, O Lord, (E)remain forever;
(F)Your throne from generation to generation.
20 (G)Why do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?
21 (H)Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be [a]restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!
