11. They have humbled the women in Tsiyon, The maidens in the cities of Yehuḏah.

13. They have taken young men to grind, And youths stumbled under loads of wood.
14. Elders have ceased from the gate, Young men from their song.

16. The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17. Because of this our heart has been sick, Because of these our eyes have become dim,
