Lamentações de Jeremias 5:15 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 5:15

The joy of our heart is ceased
ward joy was gone, as well as the external signs of it: it "sabbatized" ^F25, as it may be rendered; alluding perhaps to the cordial joy expressed formerly on their sabbaths and other festivals, now not observed; at least, not with that joy, inward and outward, they formerly were: our dance is turned into mourning;
which also was used at their solemn feasts, as well as at their common diversions, ( Judges 21:21 ) ; but now no more of that; but, instead of it, mourning at the calamities they were oppressed with; and at the remembrance of mercies and privileges, civil and religious, they were deprived of.

13 Mancebos levaram a mó; meninos tropeçaram sob fardos de lenha.

14 Os velhos já não se assentam nas portas, os mancebos já não cantam.

15 Cessou o gozo de nosso coração; converteu-se em lamentação a nossa dança.

16 Caiu a coroa da nossa cabeça; ai de nós. porque pecamos.

17 Portanto desmaiou o nosso coração; por isso se escureceram os nossos olhos.
