12. Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders were not honored.
13. The young men bare the mill; And the children stumbled under the wood.
14. The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.
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! for we have sinned.
17. For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;
18. For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk upon it.
19. Thou, O Jehovah, abidest for ever; Thy throne is 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 Jehovah, and we shall be turned; Renew our days as of old.
