New Living Translation

Lamentations 5:13-16 New Living Translation (NLT)

13. Young men are led away to work at millstones,and boys stagger under heavy loads of wood.

14. The elders no longer sit in the city gates;the young men no longer dance and sing.

15. Joy has left our hearts;our dancing has turned to mourning.

16. The garlands have fallen from our heads.Weep for us because we have sinned.
