16. Nothing is left of all we were proud of.We sinned, and now we are doomed.
17. We are sick at our very heartsand can hardly see through our tears,
18. because Mount Zion lies lonely and deserted,and wild jackals prowl through its ruins.
19. But you, O Lord, are king for ever,and will rule to the end of time.
20. Why have you abandoned us so long?Will you ever remember us again?
