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 now unto us, for we have sinned!
17. For this our heart is saddened; for these things our eyes are become dim.
18. Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19. Thou, O Lord, shall remain for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20. Why should thou forget us for ever and forsake us for such a long time?
21. Turn us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as at the beginning.
22. For in stepping back thou hast rejected us; thou hast become very angry against us.
