Lamentations 5:14

14 The old men have deserted the city gate, the young men have given up their music.

Lamentations 5:14 In-Context

12 Princes are hung up by their hands, leaders receive no respect.
13 Young men are compelled to grind at the mill, boys stagger under loads of wood.
14 The old men have deserted the city gate, the young men have given up their music.
15 Joy has vanished from our hearts, our dancing has turned into mourning.
16 The crown has fallen from our heads. Woe to us! for we have sinned.
