Lamentations 5:14-20 English Revised Version (ERV)

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 LORD, abidest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation.

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