Lamentations 5:14-22

14 The old people no longer sit at the city gate, and the young people no longer make music.

14 The elders are gone from the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.

15 Happiness has gone out of our lives; grief has taken the place of our dances.

15 Joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.

16 Nothing is left of all we were proud of. We sinned, and now we are doomed.

16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

17 We are sick at our very hearts and can hardly see through our tears,

17 Because of this our hearts are faint, because of these things our eyes grow dim

18 because Mount Zion lies lonely and deserted, and wild jackals prowl through its ruins.

18 for Mount Zion, which lies desolate, with jackals prowling over it.

19 But you, O Lord, are king forever and will rule to the end of time.

19 You, LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.

20 Why have you abandoned us so long? Will you ever remember us again?

20 Why do you always forget us? Why do you forsake us so long?

21 Bring us back to you, Lord! Bring us back! Restore our ancient glory.

21 Restore us to yourself, LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old

22 Or have you rejected us forever? Is there no limit to your anger?

22 unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
