Lamentaciones 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.

Lamentaciones 5:15 In-Context

13 A nuestros mejores jóvenes los pusieron a moler;los niños tropezaban bajo el peso de la leña.

14 Ya no se sientan los ancianosa las puertas de la ciudad;no se escucha ya la música de los jóvenes.

15 En nuestro corazón ya no hay gozo;la alegría de nuestras danzas se convirtió en tristeza.

16 Nuestra cabeza se ha quedado sin corona.¡Ay de nosotros; hemos pecado!

17 Desfallece nuestro corazón;se apagan nuestros ojos,
