14. Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music.
15. The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
16. The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17. Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;
18. Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it.
19. You, O Lord, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
20. Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?
21. Restore us to You, O Lord, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,
22. Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.
