Lamentations 5:14 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 5:14

The elders have ceased from the gate
Of the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, as the Targum; from the gate of the city, where they used to sit and try causes; but now there was nothing of this kind done: the young men from their music;
vocal and instrumental; the latter is more particularly specified, though both may be intended; neither were any more heard; their harps were hung upon the willows on the banks of Euphrates, which ran through the city of Babylon, ( Psalms 137:1 Psalms 137:2 ) .

Lamentations 5:14 In-Context

12 Des chefs ont été pendus par leurs mains; La personne des vieillards n'a pas été respectée.
13 Les jeunes hommes ont porté la meule, Les enfants chancelaient sous des fardeaux de bois.
14 Les vieillards ne vont plus à la porte, Les jeunes hommes ont cessé leurs chants.
15 La joie a disparu de nos coeurs, Le deuil a remplacé nos danses.
16 La couronne de notre tĂȘte est tombĂ©e! Malheur Ă  nous, parce que nous avons pĂ©chĂ©!
